ABOUT US

A friendly competition is good for the soul, so is chili and beer!

Every legendary idea kicks off with a bang, and the Chili Bowl is no different! It all kicked off in the most epic way: a handful of friends, some cold beers, and an unstoppable love for chili. We threw around the wild idea of a cook-off — and then dared each other to make it happen! With a splash of community spirit, a dash of daring, and a whole lot of passion for bringing folks together, what began as a cheeky dare quickly turned into an incredible event that’s got everyone fired up!
