General Chili Cookoff information


2016 Chili Cook-Off

Clarendon Day featuring the DC Chili Cookoff in Arlington, September 17.

We have a lead for the Clarendon Chili Cook-Off! Thanks to Bruce Baker for stepping up! Bruce is going to need lots of help. Bruce won 1st place for Salsa in the 2015 DC Chili Cook-off. Please contact the board if you are interested at board@waphc.com and we will pass the info to Bruce.
Clarendon Day is a community event held around the Clarendon Metro. The cook-off will be sanctioned by the ICS (International Chili Society) and the winners of all four categories will qualify for the ICS World Championship being held in Reno, Nevada this year in October. The four categories are red chili, chili verde, salsa, and homestyle chili. Homestyle is a new ICS category. You can get more details on requirements for homestyle from the ICS website. More information is located on the Clarendon Day website and the ICS website.


2015 Chili Cook-Off

Clarendon Day featuring the DC Chili Cookoff in Arlington, September 26.

WAPHC took 2nd place in Homestyle and our booth collected the most money for The Wounded Warrior Project at the 2015 Chili Cookoff at Clarendon Day! With about $430 raised, our "take" was over 1/3 of the money raised by the ENTIRE cookoff!

2013 Chili Cook-Offs

The 2013 DC 101 Chili Cook-Off did not actually include a chili competition, so WAPHC held it's own that day (May 4).

However, Hard Times Chili, Jim Parker, decided to partner with the Clarendon Alliance and hold the DC Chili Cook-Off in Arlington, September 28 as part of Clarendon Day.
