Enter the Khyber Pass Pub's Jan. 29 Beer Chili Cookoff

Do you make a mean-ass beer-based chili? Then you should enter the Third Annual(ish) Beer Chili Cookoff, scheduled for Sat., Jan. 29 at the new-look Khyber Pass Pub (56 S. Second St.).The only stipulations for the competition are that contestants (about 15 are signed up right now; it'll be capped at 22-ish) bring their chili fully prepared, and that beer is implemented as an ingredient. Prizes for winners are TBD, but will be beer-related; the judging panel right now consists of Khyber/Royal Tavern/Cantina chef Mark McKinney and yours truly. The public is welcome to come through and sample all the entries for free. A word on the field: The past two cookoffs have been won by Steve Matt of the just-down-the-block Brownie's, who will be entering again this year. If he threepeats, it's been decided that he'll gracefully retire from competition â" which will be renamed the Steve Matt Beer Chili Cookoff. Bring your A Game! If you want to sign up, call the bar at 215-238-5888 or email Jeremy Thomson at morebeer215@gmail.com. Gene "the grinder" Giuffi Posted 2011-01-07 22:24:56
