21 Teams Compete for Best Chili and Raise Money for American Cancer Society

Flora-Bama Chili CookOff

Super Bowl is traditionally a large hang out at home day with people throwing parties full of creative snacks and grilling out. 30 years ago Flora-Bama started an event on the Saturday before Super Bowl to drum up some business and coined it the "Super" Chili Bowl Cook-Off. After 30 years, the event is still going strong and continues to be a crowd favorite. The tent stage area is maxed out at 21 teams each year and customers put their best "taste tester" hats on and come through trying all the different varieties. Tickets are $25 to have unlimited sampling and 100% of that money is donated to American Cancer Society. Teams compete for a blind taste test from our judges to win 1st - 3rd place, then all the customers vote on People's Choice and then to add to the fun a Best Decorated Booth is awarded to one of the teams.  This year Flora-Bama was able to make a check out to American Cancer Society for $12,000!! Thank you to everyone who attended.


Here are this year's winners:

1st Place - Beach Bum Chili

2nd Place - Mad Cow Chili

3rd Place - Groundhog Smokers

People's Choice - Guys Who Like Chili

Best Decorated Booth - Mad Cow Chili
