TOMS RIVER – The JBJ Soul Kitchen will be hosting their 6th Annual Chili Cook-Off to honor local first responders who dedicated their service to the community.
This year, they decided to have the event all month long due to COVID-19 health and safety concerns.
Beginning October 20, every week there will be a new featured menu of different homemade chili by first responders competing for the chance to be named the JBJ Soul Kitchen Chili Cook-Off Champ. The winning contestant will be announced on or around November 21.
The contestant schedule is as follows:
- October 20 through 24: New Jersey State Police
- October 27 through 31: Tinton Falls EMS
- November 3 through 7: Toms River Fire Department #1
- November 10 through 14: Island Heights First Aid
A $20 donation will give patrons a selection of featured chili as their appetizer as part of the regular three-course meal offering. Contestants receive points every time their chili is ordered.
Patrons can either dine-in or order online for curbside pick-up. To participate, visit jbjsoulkitchen.org/to-go-meals.
