Howdy, New York City! The hottest ticket of the season is back, and it’s spicier, sunnier, and more Texas-to-the-core than ever! Saddle up and come hungry for big bold flavors, bottomless booze, and boot-stompin’ fun at the 2025 Texas Chili Cook-Off on Sunday May 18, 2025 starting at 1:00pm at Pig Beach BBQ.
Grab your $65 GA Ticket (a $91 value) that gets you admission to this rollicking spectacular, where you'll drink from a 5 Hour Open Bar featuring Tito's Vodka, Shiner Beers, Austin Eastciders, Austin Small Batch Cocktails, Mi Campo Tequila, Montauk Brewing Co., & more from 1:00pm-6:00pm, plus Unlimited Chili & Queso from NYC's Best Restaurants & Tex-Mex Enthusiasts!
Two-step your way through the day with live music and a DJ spinning hot tracks and honky-tonk hits. Whether you're line-dancing, devouring, sipping, or all of the above, this chili-charged Sunday Funday is going to have you shouting “Yeehaw!” with every bite and swig.
Prepare your palate for a lip-smacking lineup featuring The New York Times-lauded Hill Country, Pig Beach BBQ, fiery bites from Stout, Horns Hook, Esquire-celebrated Javelina by Chef Richard Caruso, the smoky brilliance of Cooleys BBQ, spicy savants Salsa Pistolero, Eater-loved King David’s Tacos, and more. Expect their tastiest chili creations and molten queso magic!
Of course expect prizes, giveaways, and surprise swag. It's time to dust off your boots, grab your sunscreen, and bring the whole crew, because when Texas comes to NYC, they don’t mess around...
Feelin’ hungry, hot, and ready to party? Say less. The Texas Exes New York Chapter is turning up the heat and bringing back their legendary Chili Cook-Off, and y’all, it’s gonna be smokier, saucier, and more irresistible than ever. Come ready to dive in, drink, and dance the Sunday scaries away!
Delight in a sun-soaked, food-fueled, cocktail-sipping, lip-smacking celebration of all things delicious chili & queso. Think rich, spicy chilis, molten golden quesos, and bourbon & beer-laced good times. It’s pure indulgence in every bite, every sip, and every beat of live music floating through the spring air.
The Chili Cook-Off aims to raise as much money to support New York students to attend the University of Texas-Austin. Now with out-of-state tuition being so high, it is an important reminder why they fundraise: so that they may send more New York kids to the great State of Texas for an amazing, educational experience, and bring the Burnt Orange enthusiasm back home!
Now for the drool-worthy showdown: chili & queso royalty and spicy legends like Pig Beach, Hill Country, Stout, Horns Hook, Javelina, Cooleys BBQ, Salsa Pistolero, Boardroom, Eastpoint, and more. Drool over their boldest bowls and meltiest dips. Plus, you’ll taste them all and cast your vote for the People’s Choice!
And did we mention the drinks? Bottomless beers. Endless wines. Strong, ice-cold cocktails. We’re talking five full hours of sipping, dancing, and mingling in the sunshine. Lest we forget, throw in some tailgate games, killer prizes, surprise giveaways, and a whole lot of southern charm.
Throw on your boots or your breeziest spring fit, and savor a chili-soaked, cocktail-fueled, joy-filled throwdown of epic proportions...
