Welcome One and All to the home of the Munich Chili Cookoff (and Cookie Contest)
The date for 2020 has been cancelled. If Oktoberfest is not happening, neither should we. We look forward to seeing you all healthy in 2021!
Then it’ll be time to tickle those taste buds and clean off the dust from that Winning Chili recipe you haven’t used before.
For all Chefs, the rules are easy:
- Create an award winning Chili at home
- Put it in a Metal Pot (one that can be warmed up on a hotplate
- Bring it on the day to The Zar Bar
- Chill with Live Music whilst our hard-working Judges do their thing
- Accept everyone’s praise as you walk off with a well-deserved prize
Vegetarian chilis are always welcome too for their own category or put them up to be judged against the meaty ones (you know who you are!). Cookies are the free-est form category we’ve got, do your best and we’ll try to make sure you don’t have any leftovers to take home. We look forward to seeing you all there!
