Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce, brings together top-notch chefs — both professional and amateur — who are ready to battle it out for chili supremacy. Expect bold flavors, hourly door prizes, and a whole lot of fun! So come hungry, bring your taste buds, and get ready for a chili showdown of cosmic proportions.
Both professional and amateur chefs are encouraged to register. REGISTER A CHEF TODAY! However space is limited and registrations will be accepted on a “first come/first served” basis. Contact the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce in North Conway Village.
Chili entries will be judged by a panel of local celebrity judges including Danni Rassi, runner up on Food Network’s “Chopped: Comfort Food Feud: Finale.” Judged awards are given for Best Meat Chili and Best Vegetarian Chili, with first, second and third places acknowledged. Amateur Chefs will be awarded People’s Choice Award for Best Meat and Best Vegetarian Chili selected by all tasters who attend the Chili Cookoff. Both categories will also vie for the Best Display prizes.
