The CHILLYs: Meet the Chefs, Part Four
Good chili is easy to make. Great chili is a little tougher. But award-winning chili is an achievement only few can lay claim to. Let’s see who makes the best chili in the KC ad community, at the CHILLYs. Fifteen contestants will fight bowl to spoon to win the most coveted prize next to an ADDY.
