And the Crowds Just Keep On Coming

Since its beginning in 1993, the cook-off continues to bring together the diverse Jewish communities of North Texas and reach out to its broader neighborhoods.

What makes the cook-off so popular?

The three F’s!

Fun! Food! Fellowship!

Cooking in Fancy Pants

Live, Lively Music

In addition, there is full-of-life music provided by the “you-always-love-em” Mazik Brothers. In their seventh year with the chili cook-off, this delightful band plays great numbers from the 60s and 70s — plus some surprises — and provides it all at no cost. Let’s hear it from the brothers! And let’s hear it for the brothers!

Mazik Brothers play Dallas Kosher Chili Cook-off for free.

Bring Your Non-Perishable Food

When you attend the Kosher Chili Cook-Off be sure to bring non-perishable food items to contribute to the Jewish Family Service Food Pantry.

Non perishables are food items you find in a pantry—oil, sugar, rice, crackers, dried cereal, canned goods and so on.

It is important to provide food that is not out-of-date. Of course, we recognize that out-of-date items do have an additional shelf life but we request that all donated items be up-to-date.

Thank you for helping us be respectful of the individuals and families served by the Jewish Family Service Food Pantry.

*Is Funnest a Word?

Because this is definitely the most fun chili cook-off ever, funnest is now a word. Add it to your dictionary, then come join the fun—for a good cause.

March 10, 2013, 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. $10 adults. $5 children. 3 and under free.
