Spice it Up with Chili

With more than 3,000 attendees on Sunday at the Jewish Community Center, the Kosher Chili Cookoff is the largest kosher food event in Houston.

The mission for this event is to bring the Jewish Community together for a day of food, fun and festivities to raise funds for important non profit organizations in the Houston Jewish Community.

More than 30 local organizations and businesses heated up the competition at the 6th Annual Houston Kosher Chili Cookoff with their unique kosher chili recipes to benefit seven local Jewish Day Schools and the Evelyn Rubenstein Jewish Community Center’s Meals on Wheels Program.

It was a perfect sunny day as friends and family gathered to enjoy live music, a moonwalk all while sampling some of Houston’s best kosher chili.

The coveted best chili and first place award was presented to the Chabad of Uptown team. Following up closely behind, the 6 Meat Under (Houston Jewish Funerals) team received second place and the Congregation Emanu El Brotherhood team finished third. The Chabad of Sugar Land team won the Showmanship Award and the Levy Funeral Directors received the People’s Choice Award. All winning teams were presented with trophies.
