Chili cook-offs, a fall tradition, have exploded in popularity over the last several years. Easy to organize and yummy to participate in, chili cook-offs are a perfect entertaining event.

The booklet in Chili Cook-off in a Box explains why chili cook-offs matter today, and describes the history of chili from pre-Columbian campfires to today's vegan versions. It gives instructions on how to organize the event around themes, such as five-alarm, vegetarian, carnivore's delight, red chili, green chili, etc., and has profiles of chili cook-off winners with prize-winning recipes and tips.

Also included in the kit are:

* Sheet to Track Entries (name, type of chili, designated number)

* Numbered Table Tents (so judges don't know whose chili is whose)

* Scorecards (rating taste, texture, appearance, creativity)

* Judge Badges

* Prize Ribbons for Contest Winners
