On Thursday, October 29th, Chicago's chefs are throwing down at our annual Chili Cook-Off, 6:30 to 8:30 PM. Taste chilis from a lineup of talented chefs, each one a unique spin on the classic, inspired by their signature style.

This year's lineup features chefs from:

Sushi-san

Gus's Sip n Dip

The Oakville Grill & Cellar

Bub City

Summer House

Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba!

Enjoy passed appetizers throughout the night, plus a dessert station where you can build your own popcorn creation and candy salad. Grab a signature cocktail, cold draft beer, or pours from our wine selection while you enjoy footbal on the big screens. Feeling inspired by all the cooking? Take home a cornbread recipe to recreate the magic at your own table.
