It's chilly outside, but you can easily warm up with some chili at the "Good Eats" Chili Cook Off & Block Party at Jackalope Jack's on Sunday, Nov. 15.
If you've got a mean chili recipe and think you can win some big bucks, be sure to enter the Chili Cook Off. Winners get cash prizes and trophies. They are taking entries in both amateur and pro categories. The entrance fee for amateurs is $20, for pros it is $40. (The amount of the cash prizes will be determined by the number of participating teams.)
You aren't required to cook on site just bring your finished chili (3 gallons worth), a table, and a chafing dish to the contest.
The Cook Off will include a traditional chili category and a specialty chili category. Call Richard Gruica at 704-421-6155 to RSVP your entry.
And for those of you who don't enter the contest, you can still take part by tasting it all! For $1 per tasting, vote for the People's Choice Winner.
In addition to all the chili, they will have a Panther Block Party with the game projected on a big screen, drink specials (buy 10 samples and get one beer free), a Cornhole Tournament, Skee Ball, and live music.
