We're doing it again!!! 🤔🌶️🍲
Since time immemorial, debates have raged as to what ingredients do and don't belong in chili. Is it chili if it doesn't have meat? If it has beans? Sweet potatoes?? The Allentown Existential Chili Cook Off seeks to settle these debates via democracy: members of the community will judge entries on two simple criteria: "Is It Chili?" and "Is It the Best?"
Entrants whose creations are judged to be the genuine article by a simple majority of votes will receive bragging rights and a ribbon that proudly proclaims "I Made Chili!"; Best in Show awards will also be given in two categories (Vegan and Meat). Entrants are encouraged to test the limits of what constitutes "chili!"
Entrants will pay a $15 fee to display their culinary prowess. Judging community members will pay a $5 fee at the door day of entitling them to sample all entries and vote on whether they are chili, and which is best.
Best in Show award winners will split half of the total proceeds, the other half will be donated to Friends of Night People.
Sign up to compete and pay your entry fee at the Intersection Cafe: 100 Elmwood Ave (daytime livingroom)
**For chili entrants, please provide your own crockpot day of event if you are able, as we are limited on loaners! Also please consider bringing an extension cord/power strip with you**
Event will take place November 3rd 2024 at 4pm at Nietzsche's, 248 Allen Street (evening living room)
This is a 21+ event
See you on November 3rd!!!
