Join Thursday 8 O’Clock Buzz hosts Tony Castańeda and Eli Wilz as they pepper their guests with questions about WORT’s 7th annual chili cookoff and contest at the Harmony Bar this Sunday, Feb. 4th from 1 to 4pm. Doug Holtz, WORT’s Business Development Director and Chip Cruz, General Manager at the Weary Traveler and a partner in the recently opened Rotunda Cafe drop all the savory details in this delectable interview. Some of Madison’s best local restaurants are cooking up 10 different versions of their chili as they vie for the title of Supreme Commander of Chili. If it’s bean a while since you’ve attended ChiliOcracy, here are the deets:

$10 buys you, “Average Joe”, a sample of each chili, a plastic spoon and a voting chip

$25 upgrades you to “Lobbyist” status, which buys you the same samples along with a real spoon and 5 voting chips

The Grazers will serenade you with folk and bluegrass between spoonfuls and the best part is – ChiliOcracy is a fundraiser for WORT! If you’re bowled over by WORT’s great taste, join the pepperazzi at this wholesome event to support your favorite community radio station!
