EACH chili cook-off participant will also receive a 3rd Annual “Chili to a Hotter Standard” t-shirt.

For the last two years, Roginson’s “Big Momma’s Chili” hasGA_Chili_Cookoff_2015 won – beating out Stonecipher’s Wendy’s Chili re-hash and other “wanna-beans”. Is anyone ever gonna beat Big Momma’s winning recipe? Better “Go Big or Go Home!”

Participants must bring at least 4 quarts of chili – so fill up those slow cookers and pots! We will have facilities set-up to plug in your slow cooker.
