New Orleans, LA – Set in the beautiful backdrop of the Irish Channel on a perfect winter day, the second annual “Chili in the Channel” chili cookoff will pit more than 15 local chefs against each other, with professional judges and the community deciding who will win the “Golden Pot.” Participants will start preparing their chili as early as 6am (they must cook onsite), and the public is invited to sample chili from 11am to 4pm. Proceeds from the event will benefit end of year college trips for ReNEW students.

Pairing perfectly with the delicious southwestern flavors of chili, various Cazadores cocktails will be served.
