17th Annual Chili Cook-Off: "Chili Through the Ages"

Saturday, September 14 | 1pm-4pm

Join us at the new Braddock Public House at 1211 Braddock Ave, Braddock, PA for an afternoon of food and fun benefiting the BCLA!

To celebrate our 135th Birthday Year, we are looking for chili recipes created through the ages! Does your chili harken back to the World's Fair of 1893, have its roots in Indiana, Oklahoma, Kansas City, or Cincinnati? Is it a traditional Texas Red, a family recipe passed down for generations, or a concoction you created yourself today? We are looking for you! The best chili(s) will win a cash prize!

Sign up to cook chili by 8/30 here.
