Welcome to the world of cooking competition chili!
We were the FIRST ICS Cook Off to rename the Youth Division after Jim Heywood. Jim was a long time ICS cook who passed away in 2012 and he was an avid supporter of kids cooking chili. To honor Jim’s memory, we renamed our “Yute Division” after him 6 years ago.
To enter the very competitive “Jim Heywood Yute division” of cooking chili, you must be under 18. You can be any age. We’ve had “yutes” as young as 6 years old. You must supply everything you’ll need that day to cook chili. You will need a stove with a one lb propane tank, a chili pot,your meat and spices and everything else.
Prizes include a swell trophy,a table, a tent, a pot and some cash.
You can do it! Come and cook chili with the big boys and girls.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact madmike@chilict.com
I will be happy to help you.
