-    Minimum 2 gallons of Chili (but as we usually run out,  3-4 gals would be preferred)

-    Recommended portions:  1/3 of a cup be given to each customer

-    Tasting cups are larger so they are not too hot to hold, please do not fill them up as you will run out of Chili

  • Extras  - you can provide cornbread, extra condiments, and tequila if you desire, but the judging of the chili will be on the chili alone

  • Hotplates or electricity are NOT provided, you will have to bring your own form of keeping the chili hot, but keeping the chili hot if it is in a good container has never been a problem. There may be some outlets available on the pier
