From the time the second person on earth mixed some chile peppers with meat and cooked them, the great chili debate was on; more of a war, in fact. The desire to brew up the best bowl of chili in the world is exactly that old.
Looking to participate? Enter the Hands Free Chili Eating, Jalapeno Eating, Hot Wings Eating Contests. Be the envy of all your friends and the embarrassment of your entire family. Tastes of chili can be had all day for only .25 (use cent symbol) each. The team that raise the most money wins the Peoples Choice Award.
