Thank you to our sponsors and guests for making the 2014 Chili Bowl a great success. The results are in!

Milwaukee's 8th annual Chili Bowl returns to  Potawatomi Casino's spacious Expo Center this 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 35+ area restaurants will compete for Milwaukee's best, sampling more than 50 varieties of chili, but only one will leave with the Golden Ladle award.  


Reserve your tasting ticket and you'll be able to sample traditional and spicy chili, along with specialty chili like chicken, lamb, brisket, sweet potato, bratwurst, plus a nice variety of vegetarian chili.  

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