Jo’s Annual Chili Cook Off
The 18th Annual Chili Cook-off, hosted by Hotel San José and Jo’s Coffee is happening on Sunday, February 2, from noon to 3 PM. The cook-off features amateur and professional chefs competing for the top chili spot and bragging rights for 2025! Since 2005, this event has raised money for Free Lunch, which fights food insecurity in Austin. The event features live music from Jeff Hughes & Chaparral and the Jo’s House Band, a raffle, and more. Entry is free for everyone, but tasting wristbands are available for $25, letting you sample all the chili and vote for your favorite. Winners will be announced at 3 PM. Come join the fun at the Hotel San José parking lot to enjoy the competition and support a great cause!
