Enjoy all-you-can-eat chili tastings during ChiliFest at Chelsea Market on Saturday, November 11. This chili cook-off brings together culinary enthusiasts, local businesses and community members for the ultimate celebration of chili served by top eateries and cutting-edge chefs.
Participating chefs from Chelsea Market include Jake Dickson from Dickson’s Farmstand Meats; Barbara Duarte from Hot Bread Kitchen; Harris Mayer-Selinger from Creamline; Jimmy Rizvi from Chote Miya; and Peter Tondteau and Victor Huang from Very Fresh Noodles. Neighboring chefs include Jared Howard from Honey Bunny’s Chicken; Leticia Skai Young-Mohan from Lolo’s Seafood Shack; and Ken Baker from Rethink Food.
In addition to the delicious food, the event raises money for local nonprofits. Each participating chef picked a charity for which they will compete to raise funds, including City Harvest, God’s Love We Deliver, the Legacy Network Program of the James Beard Foundation, and more. The winner of the competition will take home the coveted Golden Chili Trophy and his/her charity of choice will receive the majority of the proceeds.
The event also includes live music from the Brooklyn Bluegrass Collective and outdoor games like cornhole. Activities are hosted in partnership with the Meatpacking District.
