2025 Chili Cookoff Winners!

On January 18, 2025, our neighborhood once again gathered for Kevin Mort’s much-anticipated Annual Chili and Cornbread Cook-Off. This cherished winter event also kicked off this year’s series of Porch Parties—bringing friends, neighbors, and families together for a memorable evening.

We’re thrilled to announce that Andy Klein has claimed the Best Chili award for the second year in a row, impressing everyone with his unbeatable recipe. In the cornbread category, Connie Boller earned top honors for her mouthwatering, golden-baked masterpiece.

Both winners have generously agreed to share their recipes, so stay tuned for a chance to bring the flavors of this year’s cook-off right into your own kitchen. Please join us in congratulating our talented champions and in celebrating the spirit of community that makes this event so special.
