Join us during FIRE 2012 at the Turning Stone in Verona, N.Y., on Friday, June 15, from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. in the Showroom for the "Cookin’ in the House: Chili Challenge!"

Not only will fire departments be able to compete against each other for the title of "Chili Challenge Champion," but we’ll also have two special guest judges on hand at FIRE 2012 who will offer demonstrations for the fire house cook – Robert Painter (FDNY Engine 63 and NYSAFC Hands-On Training instructor) and John Sierp (FDNY Ladder 169). These passionate cooks have made seven national TV appearances and have over four regional cooking contest wins between them. They’ve appeared on shows such as "Chopped," "The Rachael Ray Show," and the "24 Hour Restaurant Battle." Rob and John have been friendly rivals in competition, and that rivalry makes for some really funny banter, as well as some really serious food!

Come enjoy the demos or if you think your chili is the one to beat, sign up for the "Chili Challenge!" A competition registration form will be available soon on the NYSAFC website at  www.nysfirechiefs.com.
