This all-day (Noon to 7:00) family event features free chili tasting from more than 18 local restaurants and individuals. These Chili Chefs also compete for trophies in the \u201cPopular\u201d and \u201cProfessional\u201d categories. In an unusual circumstance last year Blake\u2019s Restaurant &amp; Bar won both categories. They will be back to defend their titles.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>In addition to the Chili tasting four of the area\u2019s best bands will provide entertainment throughout the day. Add to that the Mariachi group that will open the day, the raffle prizes provided by the participating restaurants, a Silent Auction with many outstanding items to bid on, and the always exciting 50\/50 draw, and the Chili Cook-Off has something for everyone.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>If you happen to work up a thirst after tasting all that chili, you can head over to one of the four beverage stations on the Cook-Off grounds: the Murphy\u2019s Irish Pub Beer Gardens, the Nacho Daddy Mixed Drink Station, Ofelia\u2019s Wine Bar or the Americana Sports Bar Margarita and Bloody Mary Bar.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>All proceeds from ticket and t-shirt sales, as well as a percentage of all food and beverage sales, go to fund the non-profit <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/jaysadlerproject.com\/\">Jay Sadler Project A.C.<\/a><\/strong> and it\u2019s work to improve various institutions in the Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay area.
