FESTIVAL DETAILS

ELIGIBILITY
Open only to established restaurants. There is no entry fee but each restaurant must provide a minimum of 15 gallons of chili. We encourage you to make as much chili as you can; the more you make, the more the Chompers will talk you up!

JUDGING
The Restaurant competition winners are decided by a panel of Judges including Chefs and local Foodies.

Winners will receive commemorative Chomp & Stomp plaques to hang proudly on their restaurant wall!  And don’t forget to decorate your booth for the annual Spirit Award.

WHAT TO BRING
All cooks must provide their own cooking and serving utensils along with a means to heat their chili. No electricity will be available and propane or sterno is recommended.

Each team must bring its own fire extinguisher per Atlanta Fire Department regulations.

Serving cups WILL be provided to help maintain consistent portions, and patrons will already have their owns spoons as their ‘entrance fee’.

TABLE & TENT PROVIDED
We will setup a table for you in a 10 x 10 foot tented area. This is your tent/table so bring any chairs, coolers, towels, etc. You are encouraged to decorate your tent/table for a chance at the coveted Spirit Award!
