Chili Cook-Off For Good Cause In Buffalo New York

There are two things we love to do here in Western New York...eat and help out a good cause.

Now you can do both.

The Rotary Club of The Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus is holding its annual chili cook-off on October 25th at Flying Bison Brewery.

For $25 per person, you can come and sample chili from 12 different chefs and vote for your favorite one.

Besides amazing chili, there will be basket raffles, music, and more.
