On Saturday, Feb. 1, Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment will be hosting its annual Winter Chili Cook-Off. The competition looks to crown the region’s best chili with a variety of different categories.
There are five categories to compete in, which you can find listed below.
- Homestyle Chili
- Red Chili
- People’s Choice Chili
- Best Booth
- Salsa
The winners of both the homestyle chili and red chili will earn $500, with second place earning $250 and third place getting $100. For the people’s choice chili and best booth, there will only be one winner crowned for each, who will be rewarded $250.
The salsa competition will offer the same awards as the homestyle chili and red chili, with the grand prize being $500, second place being $250 and third place being $100. Any salsa entered in the competition must be homemade and not store-bought.
If you’re not known for your outstanding cooking skills when it comes to chili, free samples will be given to guests for the people’s choice vote after 7 p.m. The cook-off will take place in the Food Court and outdoor East Apron.
