First Pres Men vs Women Chili Cook-off
Wednesday, March 12
- BEANS WELCOME
Unlike professional Chili cook-offs, all chili entries are considered chili’s if considered chili by the submitter. This includes white chili’s, chicken chili’s, and other such entries. ‘Red’ chili is the preferred type; however, any types are welcome. - NAME YOUR CHILI
Come up with a fun name for chili like “Angel Heat” or “Deacon Inferno” (keep it G rated). Include the chili name on the front of a 3×5 index card, along with a description and whether the chili is hot, medium or mild. Contestant’s name and gender should be on the back of the card. - NO MYSTERY MEAT
Any meats may be used, but any meats that are not ground hamburger or ground turkey must be identified on the name card for the chili. - HOT OR NOT?
All entries that can be considered ‘hot’ must be identified as such for the consuming public. - BRING SOME TO SHARE
If at all possible, please use a 4-quart or larger crock-pot. The intent of the cook off is fun, but also to provide a meal for families attending the Wednesday night program. - DELIVERY ON TIME
Crock pots with chili ready to eat, should be delivered to the kitchen between 5 and 5:15 PM, Wednesday, March 12. Judging will begin at 5:30. Entries not in place may not be judged for the competition. - WHAT’S MY MOTIVATION (Judging Criteria)
Judges will be told that they should vote for the chili based on the following major considerations: good chili flavor, aftertaste, consistency, blend of spices, aroma and color. We will have prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. We will also average out scores to determine if men or women are better chili cooks! - HOW TO ENTER
All Covenant Partners of First Presbyterian are invited to participate. Please call or text Brandon Hylton by Monday, March 10.
