Past Events

t's that time of year again! Our 4th Annual Fat Tuesday Chili Throwdown is approaching. This year's competition will take place on Tuesday, March 1st at 5:30 in the CBA cafeteria. We are looking for competitors to enter their award winning chili recipes. This event has been loaded with rivalries and controversy from the get-go. Will Bio Smith make a triumphant comeback after being de-throwned last year!? Or continue to claim it was fixed? Or is this the year Ms. Hewitt finally surpasses her previous bronze and silver finishes to take the gold!? Can Mr. Stanton translate his Mac-and-Cheese superiority over to the Chili pot for an undefeated cooking season?? Does a new name come in and stun us all!? The excitement is overwhelming! Do you want a shot at taking down chili competition royalty? ENTER THIS YEAR AND JOIN THE FUN! If you're interested, email muir@cbaalbany.org with the type of chili you'd like to make. Instructions for competitors will follow in the coming weeks. If tasting chili is more your style, join us that night for unlimited tastings at $6/person including drinks and snacks. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time at  Gofan and will also be sold at the door.
