Milwaukee's 7th annual Chili Bowl returns to Potawatomi Bingo Casino's spacious Expo Center Sunday, January 26, 2014 from 11am-4pm. Don't worry there is no football this Sunday afternoon as we always host the event the Sunday before the Super Bowl.

More than 40 area restaurants will compete for Milwaukee's best, but only one will leave with the Golden Ladle award. In 2013 more than 3,000 chili enthusiasts sampled more than 60 varieties of chili from 41 area restaurants.

Whether your temptation is spicy, vegetarian, or traditional chili, there is something for everyone.
