Chili Challenge Competition + Cooking Demos = FUN @ FIRE 2012!

Come for a little chili and a lot of laughs on Friday, June 15, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Showroom during FIRE 2012 for the "Cookin’ in the House: Chili Challenge!"

Not only will fire departments be able to compete against each other for the title of "Chili Challenge Champion," but we’ll also have two special guest judges on hand at FIRE 2012 who will offer demonstrations for the fire house cook – Robert Painter (FDNY Engine 63 and NYSAFC Hands-On Training instructor) and John Sierp (FDNY Ladder 169). These passionate cooks have made seven national TV appearances and have over four regional cooking contest wins between them. They’ve appeared on shows such as "Chopped," "The Rachael Ray Show," and the "24 Hour Restaurant Battle." Rob and John have been friendly rivals in competition, and that rivalry makes for some "spicy" food and banter!

Come enjoy the demos or if you think your chili is the one to beat, sign up for the "Chili Challenge!" Prizes will be awarded to winners! Click here for more information or a competition registration form.
