About the Wild Game Chili Cook-Off:
The 29th Annual Governor’s Sportsmen Chili Cook-Off is a FREE, non-partisan and non-political event held near Capitol Square while the General Assembly is in session. Virginia Beach Sheriff Ken Stolle began the tradition in 1992 during his freshman year in the Virginia Senate. The event, sponsored by the Virginia Sportsmen’s Foundation and Coalfield Strategies, is co-hosted by Governor Ralph Northam and Sheriff Stolle.
This cook-off is for anyone who roams the grounds of Capitol Square – legislators, staff, state officials, lobbyists, and friends – and features a variety of wild game, tame meat and vegetarian chili recipes from familiar faces around Virginia. It is a fun, no-politics zone that, for many, is the only time of the year they get to try wild game.
Recipes from recent years have included wild boar, bison, venison, kangaroo, bear, moose, dove, goose, pheasant, caribou and elk. All participants are welcome to vote online for their favorite chili, and trophies will be awarded to the top three vote-getters.
The chili cook-off has been featured in the Food Network Magazine, Style Weekly, Richmond Navigator and The Virginian-Pilot.
