Stan’s Blue Note will heat things up with their “Great Bowls of Fire” 12th annual Chili Cook-off on Sunday, February 18th. From 2pm-6pm the best self-proclaimed chili chefs from around the area will compete for cash prizes and bragging rights to be crowned the best! What makes this event even better is that we do it for an important cause – this year benefitting Foundation 45 and their efforts to provide mental health services in Dallas/Fort Worth.
How to enter? Register online and your $25 registration fee ($30 day of event) gets you in the competition for cash prizes PLUS domestic draft beer from 3pm-5pm.
Prepare your showstopping chili! With beans or without, spicy or not, vegetarian or venison – it’s up to you and we will try them all! Just make sure you deliver it to Stan’s by 2:30 on February 18 (see rules online) to be included in the judging.
Who will win? Two awards will be given - Judges’ Choice, by our special panel, and a People’s Choice Award.
Want to be in on the judging? Anyone can participate in the People’s Choice voting! Bring $10 and you’ll get a spoon, a ballot, and a beer to wash it all down. If you really love chili buy a couple ballots at $10 each.
How can we make it more fun? By offering raffle prizes, of course! Special thanks to our sponsors, East Dallas Automotive and Milo Butterfingers! Plus, we have several area restaurants and businesses who graciously donated gift certificates and prizes. There’s something for everyone to enjoy from Lounge Here, Salute Wine Brokers, Walton’s Garden Center, Sundown Granada, Lochland’s Irish Pub, Libertine, Terilli’s, Dodie’s Cajun Diner, Table 13, McRae’s American Bistro, Top Golf, and more!
And because it is Stan’s, our big screens will have all the sports! We also add to the fun with pool, darts, shuffleboard, music, great beer, and food.
Why? This event is all fun for a good cause. Proceeds from Stan’s 12th annual Chili Cook-off benefit Foundation 45.
