Best Chili Recipe Wins! 

It’s time once again for the decades-long Chili Cookoff presented by Bush’s Beans that takes place in downtown Gatlinburg.  This year, the tradition continues on November 6 from 5-8 p.m.

Ticket booths open at 3 & 4 p.m., where you can purchase your tasting spoon and get ready to enjoy chili samplings from area restaurants and distilleries, all vying to be voted the winner!  The evening will include live musical performances, activities and more, all included with ticket purchase.  Bluegrass band The Grassabillies kick off the night’s musical entertainment at 5:15 p.m., followed by renowned Bon Jovi tribute band Slippery When Wet at 6:15 p.m.

Can’t be here but have a hankering for a best chili recipe?  Try this Bush’s Beans All-American Chili recipe, made with their famous slow-simmered in chili sauce.
