Hello there,
Thanks for the follow!!
We are so sorry that you missed us on the registration for the Philly Chili Bowl. The registration was open until the 29th, but it was available for 20 seats. Unfortunately, the seats filled up faster than we thought. We will continue to do competitions in the future, so keep checking in with us.
The good part is that you can still join us and eat up 20 of the entering chili’s!! Will we see you there?
