Great Bowls of Fire – It’s time for Stan’s 13th Annual Chili Cook-off

Stan’s Blue Note will heat things up with “Great Bowls of Fire” 13th annual Chili Cook-off on Sunday, February 16th. From 2pm-6pm the best self-proclaimed chili chefs across DFW will compete for cash prizes and bragging rights to be crowned the best! What makes this event even better is that we do it for an important cause benefitting Foundation 45 and their efforts to provide mental health services in Dallas/Fort Worth.

How to enter? Register online and your $25 registration fee ($30 day of event) gets you in the competition for bragging rights and a cash prize. Limited spots are available so register your entry soon.

Prepare your showstopping chili! With beans or without, spicy or not, vegetarian or venison – it’s up to you and we will try them all! Just make sure you deliver it to Stan’s by 2:30 on February 16 (see rules online) to be included in the judging. We’ll even give you a Busch Light draft to enjoy when you arrive.

Will you walk away with bragging rights and a cash prize? Two chances to win - People’s Choice and Judges’ Choice winners will be named.

Want to be in on the judging? Anyone can participate in the People’s Choice voting! Bring $10 and you’ll get a spoon, a ballot, and a beer to wash it all down. If you really love chili buy a couple ballots at $10 each.

How can we make it more fun? In addition to great chili, Stan’s will have prizes and gift certificates donated by a variety of local vendors, businesses, and restaurants! With drink specials - $4.25 domestic drafts and $5 fireballs – this is a great way to spend your Sunday.

And because it is Stan’s, you can count on us covering all the games on our big screen! We also add to the fun with pool, darts, shuffleboard, music, and more.

Why? This event is all fun for a good cause. Proceeds from Stan’s 13th annual Chili Cook-off benefit Foundation 45. Foundation 45 is a suicide, addiction, and mental health awareness group serving the Dallas/Fort Worth creative community by providing free top-tier mental health and recovery services while working to destigmatize the conversation around mental health. 

“This is an important way for us to serve the community” says Bob Myers, General Manager. “The entire staff of Stan’s Blue Note believes in the cause and in our desire to give back to the community that has been a part of our lives for over 50 years.”
