At the recent 8th annual Firefighters Chili Challenge at Lock 3, the firefighters came out victorious once again with the winning chili recipe.
The event is an annual challenge by local firefighters to other departments across the city to determine who has the winning chili recipe, with the proceeds benefiting Akron Children’s Hospital’s burn unit.
Each contest provided 10 gallons of chili that could be tasted and voted upon. Once again the Akron Fire Department took the award for best chili.
