Officially known as the Orlando Chili Cook-off, this premier chili competition is sanctioned by the Chili Appreciation Society International (CASI). Since its inception, CASI has sanctioned thousands of Cook-offs and has raised millions of dollars for charities — and this tradition continues here in Orlando.

The Orlando Chili Cook Off, which began as a small gathering of friends and chili-lovers, has now become a CASI Southeast Regional Championship event attracting cooks and attendees throughout Central Florida and the southeastern states. Teams can win trophies and prizes for the best CASI chili or the best open chili categories. Also, a best-in-showmanship award will be presented for the most entertaining chili team. The top three CASI cooks at our cook-off will gain automatic entry into the CASI International Championship in Terlingua, Texas.
