Who cooks the best chili in town?
Come to the Pullman Market Charity Chili Cook-Off on Feb. 28 and find out.
The lineup includes chef Ian Lanphear from Michelin star restaurant Isidore and James Beard Foundation semifinalists from Best Quality Daughter, Two Bros. BBQ Market , Freight Fried Chicken and Ladino.
Held outside on the Karnes Patio, the cook-off will feature chilli tastings and a competition to support the San Antonio Hospitality Foundation, which provides resources for culinary professionals.
Two Bros. BBQ Market chef and co-owner Jason Dady is eager to fire up the grill.
“I’ll be there with my team,” said Dady, a former James Beard semifinalist for Outstanding Restaurateur. “We are excited. It’s always great to get out and have fun with other chefs. And nothing is more Texas than a chili cookoff.”
The cook-off begins at 11 a.m. and ends at 3 p.m.
The field also includes chefs from Boiler House, Casanova Barbecue, Interstellar BBQ, JD’s Chili Parlor, La Gloria Pearl, Pullman Market, Slab Side BBQ and the Culinary Institute of America.
Chefs from Michelin star restaurant Mixtli were scheduled to compete but had to withdraw due to a staffing shortage.
Pullman Market is a 53,000 square-foot sprawl of eateries and restaurants with a specialty grocer, tortilleria and sourdough bakery.
Originally scheduled for June 7, the inaugural chili cook-off was rescheduled for Feb. 28. The event will feature live music from the Mark Odom Band.
VIP admission is $75, general admission $50, admission for children ages 10-18, $15.
VIP ticket-holders may enter at 11 a.m. Everyone else will be admitted at noon.
