The question is: Can you make chili?
Do you think you have what it takes to win?
How does it work?

• Prepare your chili at home, in advance
• Bring your warm chili in a 4-6 quart crock pot prior to 6:30pm
• Setup your station (approx. ½ of a rectangular table)
  • We strongly encourage decorating your table and to bring chili garnishes (shredded cheese, chips, hot sauce, etc..) to make your chili really stand out
• Compete!  Serve chili to the attendees, who are the judges
  • Tasting cups and spoons are provided
  • Attendees vote (by purchasing vote tickets at the door) as often as they like for as many as they choose
