We may be in the middle of winter, but downtown Kalamazoo will heat things up as the 21st annual Chili Cook-Off returns to the area this Saturday, January 31.
The Cook-Off kicks off at the "Chili Headquarters", KVCC Center for New Media building at 100 E Michigan Ave beginning at 11 A.M. Participants can peruse the 29 participating locations and vote for their favorites by scanning a QR code. The winner of the Cook-Off will be crowned at 1:45 P.M.!
Each location might have limited serving spoon samples while supplies last, so guests are encouraged to purchase a sustainable spoon on a lanyard for $6 at the Chili Headquarters. Spoon purchases directly support event hosting for future events.
Guests can find a full map of participating locations and more information online.
Todd spoke with Clarence Lloyd, Director of the Southwest Michigan First Chamber over Zoom to learn more.
