Join us at 12:00 PM on Sunday, October 12th during the Browns/Steelers game at JAFB Brewery for an afternoon of bold flavors and friendly competition. We are collaborating with the Brewery to bring you this brand new event to celebrate our local chefs and raise funds for the Boys & Girls Club. This is not a “bring your own crockpot” cook-off, all chili will be made by professional chefs, each serving their own unique, from-scratch recipe with creative toppings.

This is a ticketed tasting event for the public to enjoy chef-made chili. Attendees are not competing, but get to savor the results of the chefs’ hard work and help decide the ultimate chili-winner. Event takes place rain or shine. Think your favorite chef has what it takes to claim chili glory? Come hungry, bring your game-day spirit, and let the tasting (and bragging) begin.

*Before taxes & fees. Online purchases include a $2.04 processing fee in the ticket price total & tax. All sales are final. Ticket purchases are non-refundable but can be shared with a friend if you are unable to attend.
