Announcing this year’s chefs!

  1. Jamie Scheitel - come find out if his chili is as amazing as his drumming!

  2. Jessica Tijerina - enthusiastically invited by her friend and incredible fellow chef, Ash Clough!

  3. Erin Leverenz - “My sister makes the best chili around. I’ll get her to cook.” - Shane Leverenz

  4. Mike Rusert - can you say made from scratch? Seriously. So excited to welcome back Mike and his chili made with huge LOVE.

  5. Jill DeSanto - Back by popular demand. Implored by multiple mouths still watering as they recall her chili from last year! *Especially Charles Carlson who shares this pro tip: bring a muffin tin to hold all your samples!

  6. Maia Dalager & Andrew Sletten - part of last year’s winning team. This winning pair is back for more!

  7. Turner Bergh - this year’s youngest and spunkiest competitor. Not to be trifled with.
