It Got a Little Hot in There: The Brooklyn Chili Takedown

Why does the Bell House get all the cool, crazy ass events? I'm sick of talking about the same venue all the time (not really). Not to mention having to travel all the way out in the middle of warehouse-ville and buildings that look semi-abandoned. Aside from this minor complaint, the Brooklyn Chili Takedown was pretty sweet. And savory and spicy. But mostly delicious.

Just about 30 chili recipes were featured this year this past Sunday, by a bunch of unassuming and friendly cooks and chefs from all over New York. Upon entrance, the curious and hungry attendant was faced with a long line that led to a bunch of metal trays filled with all the meaty, saucy, chunky chilis that they were hoping for. The trays were separated into two groups of 15 so as to control the flow of people coming in. It was difficult for the incoming crowds to see the other line because they were hidden behind clumpy groups of people who just wanted to put food into their mouths. Eventually Matt Timms, the mastermind behind this cook-off and many others, went on stage and improved the situation. Anyway, let's get to the chili.

The first one I tried was called Turchiche Duck Chili by a man named Stephen Cash, who's recipe was actually chosen by the people to be the best. Second place went to Ilan Kutok's Hell's Knocked Up Chili and third went to Becky McGregor's Pho-bulous Chili. I tasted all of these and I gotta say that I agree with the people on this one. The judges on the other hand picked a man called Johnny Utah (totally fake name) and his New Mexico Via Con Dios Chili. I unfortunately did not have the chance to taste this one but I'm sure it was heaven. All the winners received awesome prizes like fancy pots and pans and all kinds of cooking materials.

For $15 this event was totally worth it. If you're worried that having samples of food isn't enough to satisfy, think again buddy. Chili is pretty heavy to begin with so it got a little difficult after a while to keep shoveling it in my mouth. I showed up hungry and after eating maybe 15 samples, my tummy told my brain that I needed to stop or I would have ended up showing everyone what a mix of 15 recipes of chili would look like on the floor. But that didn't happen so it was a really great time and I highly recommend this and other cookdowns by Matt Timms. The next Takedown is happening on December 19 and it's about cookies. See you there!
