26th Annual “Super” Chili Bowl Cook-Off Feb. 1 benefiting American Cancer Society

Posted

Teams will vie for the coveted title of “Best Chili” around when they start cooking up their “secret” ingredients under the Tent at the iconic Flora-Bama, Saturday, Feb.1. This popular event, starts cooking with the ‘Honky-Tonk’ country music of Jason Justice and the Hung Jury at 11 a.m. A $20 donation to the American Cancer Society allows you unlimited sampling of chili along with a free draft beer. Last year over $15,000 was raised for the Society’s efforts to eliminate cancer.

Coming to cook?

Entry fees are $25 per three-man team. Registration fees include three t-shirts, one apron and complimentary beer. Teams will cook minimum of 5 gallons of chili on-site, using their own ingredients, cooking utensils, pots and burner. Teams can register online at www.florabama.com.

Winners have a shot at more than $300 in cash prizes with perpetual trophies awarded for First – Third Place, People’s Choice & Best Decorated Booth.

Coming to eat?

For $20 per person, each guest will enjoy unlimited chili samples, one free beer or nonalcoholic beverage and one People’s Choice ticket to give to the team of your choice. Pay at the door, get your hand stamped, then sample away! Try any and every chili you desire and vote by putting your ticket in the booth you deem best. 100 percent of ticket sales from the public will support American Cancer Society. Additional People’s Choice tickets can be purchased for $1.

Timeline

Teams can set up at 8 a.m. and cooking begins at 10 a.m., after each team’s ingredients have been inspected for food safety and fairness. Live music kicks off the party at 11 a.m. with Jason Justice and The Hung Jury, while the public’s chili sampling starts at noon. Tasting will continue until 3 p.m., so stick around for the awards ceremony to see who wins the People’s Choice, Judge’s Taste, and the Best Decorated Booth award.
