March 3: BigBite's 2012 Philly Chili Bowl

Philly food-event collective BigBite, which has put together a number of inspired, high-energy amateur cooking competitions over the past few years, is taking that next step in 2012, landing a real-deal venue for its third annual Philly Chili Bowl. Scheduled for Saturday, March 3 at the Fleisher Art Memorial (719 Catharine St.), the cookoff is currently running registration for its 20-contestant field, the members of which are required to cook six quarts of chili, any style. Sponsored by Herr's and Narragansett, the Chili Bowl will double as a fundraiser for Project H.O.M.E.; it's $10 to compete and $5 to eat/drink/vote in the hotly contested "People's Choice" category.  

I'm honored to return to the judges' panel this year, joining a serious murderers' row of Philly eaters — Di Bruno's owner Emilio Mignucci, chef/restaurateur Kevin Sbraga, Cook executive director Lily Cope and resident judge/People's Republic owner Joe Bernstein. We'll be determining who takes home the Philly Chili Bowl trophy, as well as another sweet prize: two seats to any upcoming class at Cook.

Registration closes Feb. 29, or sooner if BigBite reaches its 20-chili limit. Here's all the info you need.
