About last year’s awesome event, The Village Voice raved: "the fieriest concoctions this side of Texas." Competitors are invited to come down and go head to head against other amateur chefs for the much-coveted Judged ($100 prize) and People’s Choice Award ($200 prize). Hosted by NYC comedian and chili producer Matt Timms. This event has grown from its humble beginnings in Williamsburg to its chili monster status in the Lower East Side. We bring in real chefs, food writers, and experts to judge the proceedings. Mo Pitkin’s 34 Avenue A, between 2nd and 3rd streets, Manhattan 4:00-8:30p; $15 to enter, bring down two gallons of your best recipe - OR - $8 buys all you can eat plus the opportunity to vote for your favorite. 917 902 7765 mtimms7@hotmail.com http://www.mopitkins.com http://chili-takedown.com... 10795@http://whatsupnyc.com/blog/ Eating Contests 2007-06-03T00:14:43-05:00 http://whatsupnyc.com/blog/archives/cat_eating_contests.php 1-2PM The Hot Wing Eating Championship, hosted by Saturday Night Live's Kenan Thompson; Vanderbilt Hall, Grand Central Terminal At last the competitive eating season has started!
