CHILI COOK GUIDELINES & FAQS
Darkness Brewing is not sanctioned or sponsored by the International Chili Society (ICS), the Chili Appreciation Society International (CASI), or any other chili cook-off organization. This is strictly a "for fun" event.
CHILI QUANTITIES
Each Cook is asked to prepare a minimum of 6 quarts (1.5 gallons) of chili for the Cook-Off.
Chili will be served in 4 oz. cups and spoons provided by Darkness Brewing.
CHILI INGREDIENTS
The use of commercial ground chili powder is allowed, however complete commercial chili mixes such as just add meat mixes that contain pre-measured spices and/or store-bought/canned
chilis are NOT permitted. Please submit your best tasting chili using only safe and edible ingredients. Beans, rice, and pasta may be included as ingredients.
COOKING THE CHILI
Chili must be cooked thoroughly prior to the start of the event. You are not permitted to cook on site, but will have access to power for your crock pot to keep it warm
You are responsible for supplying all of your own equipment, serving utensils, pots, etc. (No butane heating elements are allowed at the event).
Darkness Brewing will provide tables, chairs, tasting cups, spoons, napkins, a ticket box for Peoples choice tickets, a fire extinguisher, and a bottle of hand sanitizer.
TICKETS
No free tastes of chili to consumers without tickets shall be allowed.
One sample of 4 oz. will be submitted to each judge from each chili entry.
The remainder of the chili will be served to our Chili Cook-Off patrons. There should be plenty for contestants to sample each others chili.
CHILI SUBMISSION
The event will be setup and begin at 1pm on Sunday April 9th. Chili will be submitted for judging between 1:30 - 2pm. A representative will collect your judges cup and present
the sample to the judging area.
CLEANUP
Each team is responsible for its own cleanup. This includes trash removal to the trash cans provided by end of the day.
AWARD CATEGORIES
Each chili will be judged based on the following criteria on a 5 point scale:
1. Color - Chili should look appetizing. A reddish brown appearance is generally traditional and expected but a white chili or chicken chili is also acceptable.
2. Aroma - Chili should smell good. This also indicates what is in store when you taste it.
3. Consistency - Chili must have a good ratio between sauce and meat. It should not be dry, watery, grainy, lumpy, or greasy. Vegetarian chili (no meat) is also acceptable for entry, and will not be judged on meat content or lack thereof, but rather on overall flavor.
4. Taste - Taste, above all else, is the most important factor. The taste should consist of the combination of the meat, spices, etc. with no particular dominant ingredient.
5. Aftertaste - The aftertaste, or bite, is the heat created by the various types of spices and/or
peppers. (Note: HEAT is not a grading scale factor)
PEOPLES CHOICE AWARD
Patrons will purchase tasting ticket on-site and on-line. The taster will also receive one (1) Peoples Choice Award ballot.
