If you’ve never had the sublime pleasure of gathering a group of friends and participating as a chef in a chili cook-off, now’s your chance. Chef registration is now open for the 44th Annual Chili Cook-Off in Dunphy Park on Saturday, Sept. 23. There is no cost to enter the cook-off, and Sausalito Parks and Recreation will even kick in $50 to help each team with their supplies budget. Teams are required to make at least 15 gallons of chili, and cooking must be done on-site. Chefs are encouraged to register by Aug. 25 to get their team listed on the commemorative apron. Two aprons will be given to each booth. As in past years, teams will compete in three contest categories: Judges’ Choice, People’s Choice, and Best Booth. This year’s cook-off has a pirate theme. Unlimited tasting wristbands for the Chili Cook-Off can be purchased in advance for $25 via the City website or for $30 at Dunphy Park on Sept. 23. The hours of the event are noon to 4 p.m. There are some new twists this year. Contact the Sausalito Parks and Recreation at recreation@sausalito.gov or (415) 289-4152. |
