Dining Notes: Jacksonville USO plans chili cook-off for March 10

The Greater Jacksonville Area USO would like your support — and your chili.

On Saturday, March 10, the organization is hosting its USO Chili Cook-Off, the first of what it anticipates will become an annual event. Proceeds raised from the event will benefit the USO’s Help on the Homefront program that sends care packages to American combat troops.

From noon to 5 p.m. that day, attendees can purchase tasting kits for $5 and sample and vote for their favorite chili recipes. Two “People’s Choice” winners will be awarded trophies.

The event, with food and entertainment, will be at the Fleet Reserve Association, 5391 Collins Road near Jacksonville NAS.

If you’d like to be one of the event’s chili cooks, contact Chuck Stock at (904) 272-0505 or via email at usochilicookoff@aol.com for more information.
