Award-Winning Chili

Every year the Boyce Thompson Institute hosts a Chili Cook Off with awards for “Best Overall Chili”, “Best Meat Chili”, and “Best Vegetarian Chili”. Although there were many strong contenders this year, the award for “Best Meat Chili”, went to Brandon Williams of the Physalis Improvement Project for his “Groundcherry Chili”.

Featuring groundcherry and tomatillo, this chili is sure to wow your tastebuds. Check out the recipe below!

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
