Join us for the 14th Annual So You Think You Can Cook Chili Cook-Off, January 20th, 2024 at the Country Club of Spartanburg. Proceeds will benefit the students at the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind. Teams of Community Leaders will showcase their favorite chili recipe and their team at our Tailgate.  

Join us from 7:00-10:00 p.m. at the Country Club of Spartanburg for a night of fun.  Come watch our judges try all the different teams chili.  Guests will be able to taste all the different chili's and cast votes for their favorite team. 

In keeping with tradition we will have 3 Award categories: Judge’s Choice, Best Table Presentation, and People’s Choice.

Judge’s Choice

It’s time to impress the BEST! Teams will need to challenge Themselves and bring their best recipe to impress this year’s SPICY panel of distinguished judges.  Our fantastic judges will be judging on taste, aroma, and originality! Please refrain from bribing the judges!

Best Table Presentation

Huddle up!  Everyone loves a good tailgate.  A chance to see friends and eat good food.  While traditionally tailgates are typically associated with football, teams can set up their tailgate for any sport, at any level.  Come see how creative our teams can be.

People’s Choice (Begins January 2nd)

While the So You Think You Can Cook Chili is a food event, it is, more importantly a fundraising event.  The team that raises the most money for the SC School for the Deaf and the Blind Foundation will win the ultimate title-PEOPLE'S CHOICE!
