Ripon restaurant to host chili cook-off

RIPON — Alibi's Dining and Spirits, 1300 W. Fond du Lac St., Ripon, will host a chili cook-off on Sunday, March 22. "Everybody has a favorite chili recipe that they've been perfecting over the years," said Terri Dietzel, owner of Alibi's with her husband Tim. "We would like those 'closet chefs' to bring their recipes out into the open for the chance to win a Las Vegas getaway." In addition to the grand prize of a Las Vegas getaway, $100 will be awarded to the People's Choice winner. Chili lovers are invited to taste the cook-off entries for $5 while the supply lasts, according to an event press release. The number of entries to the cook-off is limited to 25. Entry fee is $25. Contestants should bring their chili to Alibi's on the day of the competition. The chili feed will begin at 4 p.m. and go until 6 p.m., at which time the winners will be announced.
