Our 2026 Chili Cook-Off was one for the books, and it’s already getting us excited for next year’s competition!
We had 16 brave warriors enter our competition, but only one chili could emerge victorious. Congratulations to Mason Garcia for bringing home the crown this year! Belinda Reid and Lauren Marsh rounded out the podium, making it a stacked line-up at the top.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this event possible! Whether you made a chili, brought some cornbread, judged our competition, or just showed up and ate, we’re thankful for you!
Think you have what it takes it win it all next year? Mark your calendars for early October, start busting out the recipe books, and get ready to give it all you’ve got! We won’t spoil all the details, but we can promise more prize, more fun, and an event you won’t want to miss.
Once again, thanks for an amazing Chili Cook-Off! We hope to see you around at more CrossRidge events this fall. Whether it be Wednesday Nights, Fall On The Ridge, or anything in-between, we know there’s a home for you here at CrossRidge.
Happy Fall!
