You attended a chili cookoff. The chili was hot and delicious, and you had a blast. Now you are wishing there was a chili cookoff in your town. After all, your trip to Mountain Home, Idaho, which just happened to be at the same time as their big cookoff may have been a once-in-a-lifetime stroke of luck. But, how do you start a cookoff?
Well, all those folks who are responsible for the many great cookoffs that are now happening year after year had to start somewhere.
There are no doubt thousands of cookoffs each year in the U.S., and I'm certain there are folks all around the country who would be glad to offer suggestions. But what if your best, local chili cooks say they want to be able to compete for a real world championship and win big money? That's the time to call in the pros. One such organization is the International Chili Society (ICS).
On the ICS website page, "How to Start a Cookoff" they state, "The International Chili Society is very proud to say that we sanction over 300 cookoffs a year throughout the world and have helped raise over 60 million dollars for charities and non-profit organizations." Then they go on to explain the rules and regulations for starting a cookoff that would be sanctioned by the ICS.
Take a look for yourself. Here is the link to that page on the ICS website. Now get going!
