A chili cook-off returns to Newburyport this weekend, and as always, it will include food, live music, and door prizes.
According to the restaurant's website, The Grog on Middle Street in the downtown area of this North Shore city will be hosting the Chili Con-Carnival Cook-Off on Saturday, October 1, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM. The event, which will take place under a tent in the restaurant's parking lot, will feature chili from a variety of eateries in and around Newburyport, including Abraham's Bagels & Pizza, Bucciarelli's Butcher Shop & Deli, David's Tavern, Michael's Harborside, The Purple Onion, The Rockfish, The Stoplight Cafe, The Thirsty Whale, Warren Street Market & Deli, and others. Each attendee will vote for his or her favorite chili, with the winners being announced at 3:00.
Ticket to the 2011 Chili Con-Carnival Cook-Off cost $10 each (children under 12 are free), and as was the case last year, the event benefits three food pantries: The Pettengill House in Salisbury, Community Services of Newburyport, and Our Neighbor's Table in Amesbury.
The address for The Grog is: The Grog, 13 Middle Street, Newburyport, MA, 01950. The phone number is (978) 465-8008.
