The Federal Hill South Chili Cookoff took place last Sunday, January 26th at Little Havana. The Key Hwy. restaurant was packed with patrons sampling 20+ pots of chili. In addition to many local area residents, restaurants such as Sweet Caroline’s, Liv2Eat, Nobles and Baba’s brought chili to taste. It was a great event and a great meal.
