This Saturday (Jan. 26), the Meadowlands Racetrack will be hosting its fourth annual home-style chili and salsa cook-off.

As of January 22, twenty-eight contestants have been registered to compete for the $1,000 grand prize plus a spot in the International Chili Society’s World Championship cook-off in Reno, Nevada.

There is also a $500 prize for second place and $250 cash prize for the third-place chili.

Cooks interested in participating can still register for the cook-off here.

In addition to the chili competition, a separate side contest for homemade salsa will also be conducted offering the winner a $500 first prize.

Racetrack guests are also welcome to sample the chili and vote for their favourite. The fan favourite cook will walk away with the $250 prize. Fan favourite voting will begin at 7:30 p.m. (voting ballots are available at the Players Club Desk and in the live racing program).
