Chili Cook-off to Feature Guns N’ Hoses
At Taste of Sierra Madre Sept. 11
Well it’s not exactly the well known band performing in Sierra Madre. However, some local rock stars in their own right and almost equally well-known: Sierra Madre Police Chief Diaz and Fire Chief Steve Heydorf are planning something almost as scorching as a blistering Guns N’ Roses concert- – the big Chili Cook-off during the Taste of Sierra Madre on Sept. 11
Sierra Madre Police Chief Marilyn Diaz and Fire Chief Steve Heydorff will pull out all the stops for the friendly ‘guns v, hoses’ chili cook-off, and hope to serve 300 people some fiery chili combinations at A Taste of Sierra Madre on September 11 in Kersting Court.
While the departments are keeping their respective piquant recipes top secret, Chief Heydorff confirmed that Charlie Childs recipe will be used at the Fire Department. Childs’ cooking was a staple at the department for years, and has been featured on the Food Network.
Proceeds from the event, including the cook-off will benefit two causes, cleft palate surgeries for children who would otherwise go without, and Sierra Madre’s Youth Activity Center, by funding additional fine arts programs.
Two different level tickets at $35 and $20 are now on sale to taste the food, the fine arts and the music of this first time event. Tickets are available at Savor the Flavor, Best Buy Drugs, The Bottle Shop and Belle’s Nest in downtown Sierra Madre. More information is available at:
www.ATasteOfSierraMadre.com or by calling event chair, Tom Brady at 626-355-3471.
