Chestnut Hill Rotary Heats Up a New Competition

A new tradition for Chestnut Hill is heating up, as the Rotary prepares for its first annual Chili Cook-off.

On March 27, cooks from local restaurants will offer up their chili in a quest to be the best, as attendees can vote on their choice. Included among the competitors are Blue Monkey Catering, Campbell’s Place, McNally’s Tavern, Rollers, Weavers Way and more.

The cook-off will take place at the Lutheran Theological Seminary-Brossman Center, 7301 Germantown Avenue, 2-6 p.m. Along with chili-tasting, the event will provice chances to interact with other nearby businesses, like Falls Flowers, Littler Herban Spa and O’Doodles Toy Store.

Local organizations such as the Center for Enrichment and Goodwill will also be in attendance, and will take donations.

Tickets for the cook-off are $10. The proceeds of the cook-off will go to benefit the causes of the rotary, from local to global, and the Jenks School Reading Program, as well as scholarships to Germantown High School students.

So open your heart, your stomachs (and a bottle of antacids) to this new event. At the 10th Annual Chili Cookoff, you can tell people you were at the very first.
