Who Will Win This Year's Chili Cook Off?

Only you can tell us as you taste what comes out of the kitchen onto your plates.  Tempe Fire Station # 273, located in the Hackett House's backyard on McClintock, was the hands-down winner of last fall's cook-off between three Tempe Firefighting Stations.  The guests were served each of three different chilis by the firefighters themselves.  They voted and Station #273 won the top prize.  The tradition continues this year with Tempe's firefighters challenging Phoenix's firefighters.  Join us to celebrate our very own firefighters as they dish up their fire house staple along with cornbread, salad and dessert!  Portillos restaurant in Tempe wants to celebrate the firefighters as well.  They are bringing their famous homemade chocolate cake for us to enjoy.  Please join us!

6:30 PM - 9 PM (Happy Hour begins at 6:00!)

Not only will the firefighters be cooking your chili, they will be serving you dinner throughout the evening -- just as they have been serving our community throughout the years.

And what chili doesn't taste better paired with ice-cold beer?
