The inaugural Dunedin Blue Jays' Chili Cook-Off featured interesting blends of flavor, but only one chili champion could be crowned.
The Dunedin Chili Cook-Off was quite the event for foodies. Vendors joined forces to bring plenty of chili mojo to the competitor arena at Florida Auto Exchange Stadium on Sunday, July 29. Six competitors went head to head with their creative concoctions. But in the end, judges and ball game participants would decide on one chili champion. And with chili to suit all tastes, it couldn't have been an easy decision. Here, I share with you my culinary journey: I started my tasting adventure with Chef John Lewis. His chili had quite some spice with a highly-present habanero sauce flaming my taste buds. What really made the dish great for me was the avocado sour cream, which combatted the heat and made the chili simply refereshing. I was in …

Dunedin Patch is entering a chili in the Dunedin Blue Jays' long-awaited cook-off. Fans can enjoy all-you-can-eat chili sampling and vote for their favorite on Sunday. All proceeds go to a good cause. Gates open at 4 p.m.
Local editor Katie Dolac is tying back her apron strings on Sunday afternoon, thanks to the Dunedin Blue Jays. She'll be whipping up a batch of her ol' family chili recipe for you to taste in the Blue Jays' Chili Cook-Off to benefit RCS Food Bank in Clearwater. Her Patch editor friends from Clearwater, Palm Harbor and Largo will also be there, either impressed by the brilliance of her secret ingredient or mocking her attempt at something edible. Even though they are helping to make it, they are tough critics and there'll be professional competitors, so we'll need you there to be the real judge (cough, cough, did we mention it's all-you-can-eat taste sampling?). So, bring yo' kids, bring yo' parents, bring yo' wives, bring yo' husbands. …

The new chili cook-off is scheduled for late July.
Debby is foiling the Dunedin Blue Jays' plans again. The make-up chili cook-off scheduled for today is being moved — for the second time due to Debby — this time to another month. The new chili cook-off date is Sunday, July 29, at 4 p.m. The Blue Jays face the Charlotte Stone Crabs at home starting at 5 p.m. The all-you-can-eat event benefits the RCS Food Bank. Individuals may also still sign up to participate. Cost is $35 to enter; $10 just to eat and attend the game. All proceeds go to the food bank. On the fence? Read five good reasons the D-Jays think you should go (it also includes how to enter).

Bet you'd like to know who makes the best chili in town! (Plus, we've got some great things on tap for parents and kids.)
1) The lowest reported gas price in Dunedin is$3.43 at the Rally Market & Gas, 1621 Main Street, according to TampaGasPrices.com. 2) You may see some morning showers, but otherwise, it should be partly sunny with a high of 85. Tonight's low is 72, according to the National Weather Service. 3) Chef John Lewis took first place out of 15 entrants over the weekend at Dunedin House of Beer's Chili Cook-off!

This Dunedin Historical Museum event is perfect for the kids (ahem, or the kid in all of us)! Sponsor a rubber duck and watch it float to shore from the pier…
