SUNSHINE STATE CHILI POD
Welcome to the Sunshine State Chili Pod !!!!!!!
Where you can find Chili , Charity , and Fun !!!!!!!!!!!!
Chili cookoffs are held in virtually every state and in many countries around the world. Usually held as fund-raising
events for charity, they serve also as an outlet, a hobby, for countless competition chili cooks. Everyone loves Mom’s
chili and everyone seems to have the recipe to end all recipes. So the reason for chili cookoff competition is to settle the
score and, in the process, raise money for a good cause. Chili is cooked on site and from scratch. A panel of judges, using
a blind selection process, determines the winners.
Cooking competition chili can be a rewarding experience. Seasoned competition chili
cooks enjoy the camaraderie of their fellow cooks and especially enjoy the opportunity to exercise their “bragging rights”
when they have won or placed in a chili cookoff contest.
The new 2008-2009 chili year to earn points towards the International Championship in Terlingua, Tx November 2009
begins October 1, 2008. Wishing everyone luck on getting those points this year. Check out the links at the top of this page to check out all upcomings cookoffs
for the next year.
GOOD LUCK!
