Autumn is the season of celebration here on the Plateau as we give thanks for another glorious season, nature’s beauty and bounty, and friends and family.
We’re enjoying breathtaking blue skies, blazing autumn leaves, our first taste of chilly weather, evenings by the fire, and of course the 19th annual Chili Cook-off co-hosted by the Cashiers Area Chamber of Commerce and Landmark Realty Group, held this year on October 16, from 5:00 until 7:00 P.M. at the Cashiers Village Green.
This beloved event is the perfect wrap up to the Cashiers Business After Hours series when the entire community comes together for the season finale with plenty of heat, lots of heart, friendly competition, and community cheer. Join your fellow business owners, friends and neighbors for an evening of culinary delights, cold beverages and good camaraderie.
A dozen or more local cooks as well as a few pros from nearby restaurants battle it out for the title of Best Chili in Cashiers. You can compete solo or as a team. Expect to enjoy chili and cornbread recipes of every kind and nature from mild to knock your socks off fiery. Some will be so subtle that you will linger over your sample a bit longer than normal trying to identify that one unique ingredient. Others may have you rushing to the drinks stations for a cooling beverage and a quick break before moving on to the next sample. You’re bound to find a favorite here.
Lauren Dahl, General Manager and Broker-in Charge at Landmark Realty Group says that “this chili cookoff is the ultimate kickoff to fall-good food, friendly competition, and community all in one! As a newcomer to the company, I can’t wait to experience it for myself, and I’m especially excited about some new twists we’re bringing to this year’s event.”
New twists? We can’t wait to see what those are and what they add to this fantastic event so whether you attend every year or will be a first timer this year, come one and all to this eagerly anticipated culinary celebration.
