The Shameless Carnivore

So you think you can cook (chili)? The Brooklyn Chili Takedown is August 10th!

July 28th, 2008 by Scott

Ladies and gentlemen, start your dutch ovens!

Do you make a mean chili? Well, now you have your chance to prove it! The CHILI TAKEDOWN is upon us yet again, New York’s finest no-holds-barred battle royale of chili chefs, and we’re calling for chilimeisters and chili tasters alike. Come one, come all, and decide whose spicy concoction will take home the prize! The contest will be held on Sunday, 8/10 – 5-8pm at Union Pool.

We have an excellent panel of judges this time around, including owner/head chef of Paloma (and former Top Chef contestant) Camille Becerra, butcher extraordinaire Tom Mylan (of Diner, Marlowe & Sons, and Bonita), and yours truly, The Shameless Carnivore. As for the winners, the judges’ award carries a $50 prize, and — get this — A HUNDRED BONES to the audience’s favorite. And by “bones,” I of course mean “dollars.” So if you decide to bring it, make sure to bring friends, too…we’re not above competitors stacking the odds in their favor by inviting their entourage. As the old adage goes, “All is fair in love and chili.”

Cost is $10 at the door for voting privileges and all the chili you can chow, and free for all competitors. More details at http://chili-takedown.com/. Do you have what it takes to reign victorious over the chili smackdown to end all chili smackdowns? Game on!
