It’s The Fantastic JBJ Soul Kitchen Chili Cook-Off in Toms River, New Jersey

One of my favorite dishes, especially in the colder months, is chili. I love a good bowl of chili and a crock pot of chili on a Sunday with the Giants is the best! I do like spicy chili and yes lot's of beans! I can do meat or meatless when it comes to chili and chi8li-mac is a nice change of pace too.

For the record, I love two sides with my chili. First I would want cornbread, nothing goes better with hot and spicy chili than cornbread. If not cornbread I really like saltines with my chili, simple but tasty.

I am talking chili in this article because the annual JBJ Soul Kitchen Chili Cook-Off is coming up. It's a fun and delicious event that also helps our community.
