This Saturday, January 14, the Kissimmee Civic Center is hosting the 16th Annual Kissimmee Sunshine Regional Chili Cook-Off Festival. Admission is free and the event runs from 11:00am to 5:00pm. There will be live entertainment, a sanctioned chili competition (red, verde, and salsa), food vendors, a beer garden, and loads more!
The chili competition will be sanctioned by the International Chili Society. The winner of the chili competition will advance to the 2012 World Championship. I’m glad events like this exist. Without them, people would just be exposed to boring grocery store chili that comes in a can and needs half a bottle of hot sauce to attain any kind of flavor.
Do I have a chili story? Of course I do. About 10 years ago, I was supposed to attend a taping of the Daily Show in NYC. The night before I ate a ton of chili. My stomach punished me for it the next day and I missed the taping. The guest that night was Samuel L. Jackson. Me and chili have a history.
