On Saturday afternoon, Ithaca Police responded to reports of a stabbing following an altercation at the 26th Annual Chili Cook-Off.
Ithacans — bundled up with their coats and scarves — made their way to the Commons to see what chefs had in store for the the 22nd Annual Chili Cook-Off.
Ithaca’s 22nd annual Chili Cook-Off is set to take place Saturday, Feb. 8 in the Commons.
Cornellians and Ithacans alike warmed up on the frigid day with spoonfuls of warm chili as restaurants competed for Best Meat or Overall Chili, Best Vegetarian or Vegan Chili and People’s Choice Chili
Students sampled and voted on chili dishes created by head dining hall chefs at Cornell’s 12th annual chili cook-off Thursday in Willard Straight Hall Memorial Room. The event, sponsored by the Willard Straight Board of Directors, featured twelve tables of chili samples and colorful comment boards, where students could write enthusiastic compliments like “Loved it!” or “Great vegetarian option!”
Alexandra Hegerle ’17, a member of the Board of Directors, said the event both allowed students to voice their opinions and gave chefs creative freedom. “The chefs are usually pressed for time when cooking,” Hegerle said. “They have set menus, especially in larger dining halls, so now they have the opportunity to get creative.”
Terrence Vallery ’17 said he appreciated the array of samples provided, such as Bronco-Bustin’ chili, Southwest Black Bean chili and the vegan Caramelized Onion and Four Grain chili. “There are so many diverse gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options,” Vallery said.
