Football is Coming... And so is Rosie's Annual Chili Cookoff!!!

So, it's that time of year again... The weather cools, the leaves change colors.... er, well maybe not in San Diego! But the pigskins will be flyin' and that means its time for Rosie O'Grady's Annual Chili Contest. All perspective chili chefs are encouraged to break out your giant pots and dust off your wooden spoons.

The format will change slightly this year to allow for more contestants and even better judging. During every Sunday Night Football game we will showcase 2 batches of chili for all in attendance to enjoy and judge. At the end of the season, the top 5 will compete for the coveted prize and title of Chili Champion.

Come in and sign-up with any bartender soon, so you are sure to get the game you want! The list fills up fast and we have a lot of fun with this. If you don't want to make chili for the masses, come in every sunday evening for a drink and a bowl (of chili, of course!). Let your opinion be heard... YOU be the judge!
