EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (January 6, 2016) – The
Meadowlands Racetrack is calling all cooks for its first ever Homestyle Chili
Cookoff to be held Saturday, January 30 at the East Rutherford facility. The
contest offers a $1,000 first place prize plus a spot in the International
Chili Society’s World Championship cook-off in Reno, Nevada.
Homestyle chili is defined by the International Chili
Society as the cook’s favorite combination of ingredients resulting in a dish
seasoned with chili peppers and spices. Contestants must cook their chili on
site between 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. with judging promptly after.

event to expose new fans to our beautiful facility,” said Meadowlands General
Manager and CEO Jason M. Settlemoir. “Plus, who wouldn’t love to cook and
sample chili on a cold winter day!”
Cooks, both amateur and professional, are invited to
register to participate by visiting the sign-up page at www.playmeadowlands.com. There is a
$20 registration fee that must be paid prior to the start of cooking that
covers the membership fee to the International Chili Society.

contest for homemade salsa will also be conducted offering the winner a $500
first prize.
