For the love of chili and cats
and charities.

Welcome to our website
About us

Having Fun while Helping Charities.

So far we have had lots of fun at the events. Our most asked question. How many cats are in a gallon of chili? Three, just kidding, we love our cats and would never harm our chili with them. 

The Hunt For Bargains and Sales!

We spend a lot of time shopping for the massive amounts of ingredients needed to get through your average Cook off. Circulars, visits to multiple stores and the almost weekly beef orders.

So What's In A Pot Of Competition Chili?

Ground beef, beef and chicken stock and spices from Lone Star Spices and Pendery's, but mostly love, lots and lots of love, and a little cat hair. Have you heard the old adage?, "I can give you my recipe but can you cook it?"

The magic of chili

Chili brings out that deep sense of home to us. The aroma and looks of a big pot of chili warms the soul. It is a staple comfort food all through the south and beyond. 

"Chili is not so much food as a state of mind. Addictions to it are formed early in life and the victims never recover. On blue days in October, I get this passionate yearning for a bowl of chili, and I nearly lose my mind."
Margaret Cousins

Other Stuff We Do.

When chili cook offs aren't available we also enjoy volunteering our time with animal rescues, hiking throughout Florida and the Appalachian Trail, and camping.

The Charities.

We love to show our support for various charities at the events. We do have a special place in out hearts for Sheltering Hands Cat Rescue. We also support Suncoast Basset Rescue, a non-profit dedicated to the much beloved basset hound. To learn more about these two great organizations click the link below.
