What is the World Championship Chili Cook-Off?
The World Championship Chili Cook-Off takes place every summer in South Carolina's beautiful Myrtle Beach.
Every year hundreds of chili cooks take part in nationwide cook-offs in order to qualify for the International Chili Society's (ICS) season finale – the World Championship Chili Cook-off (WCCC)!
This cook-off means serious business with a huge cash prize for the winning World Champion!
