Macomb County, come out to Bruce Post VFW 1146 this upcoming Thursday, April 24 for the first annual, “Chili Wars” chili cook-off. The fun starts at 5pm and goes until 9pm. For those who think that chili is one of those dishes that pretty much tastes the same everywhere you go, you will be in for quite a surprise. Chili recipes vary widely in ingredients and chili can have an endless variety of ingredients, textures, tastes. And of course there is that one criteria where chili cooks really battle: heat. Just how spicy is your chili? Will it set off alarms or is it on the sweet side?

If you aren’t a chili chef, you can still participate by tasting the chilis and cheering the contestants. There will be awards to the best chili in several categories, and a prize for the most entertaining chili team.

There is no entry fee for those who cook, but you must bring two gallons of your best chili. The admission for chili tasters is $8 and for that you get soft drinks, coffee, dessert and of course, Macomb County’s best chili.
