Chili Cook-off
The Chili Cook-off.  Our other signature event is moving to Dallas this year to coincide with the annual Texas vs. Oklahoma football game at the State Fair of Texas (and to be in closer proximity to our new cable friends from Oklahoma).  We will battle for the best Chili in cable just two days before two of the best teams in college football battle for state-line bragging rights.
