Chili Cook Off 2025

2025 Chili and Soup Cook Off
to benefit the LC DockHounds Foundation

Think your taste buds can handle the heat? Join us at WBC Park for our Chili Cook Off, where some of the area’s best chefs, home cooks, and “chili masters” will battle it out for bragging rights—and your vote!

Step inside the DockHaus (Baird Wealth Management Club) and escape the November chill while sampling a wide variety of homemade chili recipes, each packed with flavor, spice, and personality. You’ll be the judge—taste them all and cast your vote.

Not only will your appetite thank you, but so will the community—this event proudly benefits the LC DockHounds Foundation, helping us make a lasting impact beyond the ballpark.

No matter how cool it is outside, this event is guaranteed to warm you up with bold flavors, great company, and plenty of DockHounds fun.
