Last Sunday I was ask to be one of the judges for the Rex Healthcare 2nd annual celebrity chili cook off at the RBC center. This event is held to bring awareness to Rex Heartburn Center. A large percentage of the population suffers from heartburn and most do not know that Rex Healthcare has a local facility to help.
Ron the Ref, of the NHL and Mark Thomas, of 99.9 the fan were also judges. The three of us tasted chili and voted on ten area restaurants. They each had very distinctive flavors to appeal to many different pallets. At the end of the judging we unanimously voted for the top three best chili’s in Raleigh. So, with the chill in the air if you are craving a hot bowl of chili to warm you up, here’s the list of competitors and the winners:
Carolina Ale House
Bella Monica
Bentleys
Dos Taquitos
East Village Bar & Grill
Irregardless Café
Rex Healthcare
Savor Hospitality
Tavola Rossa
Zely & Ritz
And the winners were: 3rd place, Bentleys – 2nd place Zely & Ritz – 1st place Bella Monica!
