This is an island favorite fall event. It is
the annual competition between restaurants and amateurs for
the best chili. Everyone is welcome an nobody goes away
hungry. Some like it hot and the cooks are there to light your
fire. The rain that could have dampened the event went away
just before we began serving. Honey Horn is still a great location for
our events and is located on the North end of the island where
the Cross Island Parkway meets William Hilton Parkway. Click
