Get ready, San Antonio!

🔥 A Cook-Off for a Cause

More than just a spicy good time, the event also supports a heartfelt mission—a portion of the proceeds will benefit the 100 Club of San Antonio, a nonprofit serving the families of fallen and critically injured first responders in Bexar County.

🍲 Two Ways to Compete

Pullman’s Chili Cook-Off features two flavorful categories:

• Traditional San Antonio Style Chili: Meat-based, no beans, and made from scratch.
• Creative Chili: Vegetarian, uniquely spiced, or outside-the-box takes on the classic.

Every submission is eligible for the People’s Choice Award, where the public votes for their favorite flavor.
