Sign up for The Ninth Annual Local Ingredient Chili Challenge at Water Street Market!
On Saturday. January 25th from 12 to 3PM, Water Street Market will host its sixth annual local ingredient chili challenge. We will be accepting up to 20 participants. There is no cost to enter but you will need to donate a minimum of 5 gallons of your best chili and be there to serve it. The chili must contain at least five local ingredients (such as tomatoes, peppers, honey, beer, turkey, beef, etc.) Keep in mind that the more local ingredients you have, the more weight it carries with the judges.
The chili will be judged for first and second place under these categories: best overall, best vegetarian, best professional (restaurant or professional chef), people’s choice and most original. Please note that home chefs must have use of a commercial kitchen to make the chili. If you do not, we can help get you use of one.
Water Street Market will be providing the 2 ounce portion cups and spoons. All proceeds from this event will go to The St. Joseph’s non-denominational food pantry which is in dire need of supplies to feed hundreds of local families. This event typically raises at least $2,000 for them.
