Every Saturday morning in Florida, a couple dozen chili chefs wake up early and prepare gallons of their best chili to serve to several hundred strangers. If their chili is good, and with a little luck, they may win accolades, a trophy, a monetary prize. Mostly, they come away with memories, and the satisfaction of the smiles on the faces of those who taste the fruits of their labor. Also, the satisfaction that almost every chili cook off is a fundraiser for charity.

We are always proud to donate our remaining chili to the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition. Today, we were proud to deliver 2 gallons of delicious chili!

A lot of work over the past three weeks, when we really decided to dive into this endeavor. Refining and testing the homestyle recipe to ensure we can scale it to volume and retain the quality. Working with Kenny Mok on the logo, Venice Sign Company on the amazing signs, and Designs To A “T” on quality shirts. And of course, doggy treats for the furry friends of the festival goers. (No jokes about “secret ingredients” in the chili. 😉)
