Celebration Cook-Off at Lyons

By Mara Hernandez-Capili

At Lyons, there is an event for people who love to cook and to eat cooked food. It is also a celebration of good taste and culinary flair. This event is entitled the Celebration Cook-Off. At the Celebration Cook-Off everyone is entitled to whip out their delicious and mouth-watering recipes anytime, for the delight of the crowd. Culinary masters are encouraged to display their culinary prowess for the spectators. Bring your favorite cookbook on this day and share trade secrets to fellow cooks as well!

At the festival there is an exciting chili cook off that is also a competition. A special jury is present to judge each chili recipes. The winning chili recipe is awarded by a cash prize and a plaque of recognition and appreciation. Chili cook offs are not new to Lyons, Kansas since the state is home to a small organization that aims to promote public awareness on chili and its benefits. They aim to make chili as the National Vegetable of America.

Cook-offs are great events where you can bond with friends and forget about your weight counters for the day. These are also great venues for cooks and restaurant owners to promote their restaurants. How? Some restaurateurs display their tarpaulins and advertisements at cook-offs and create extra mileage by giving free taste to the participants. In this way, people will have the chance to taste their wonderful menu.

At the Celebration Cook-Off, families are encouraged to bring their grills and cooking materials at the venue. All dads can have fun grilling and smoking his barbecue at the grill while the kids line up for more. Learn how to smoke like a professional and watch experts as they do step by step instructions on how to do it. Cook-offs are way to celebrate your palate and win new recipes (and friends too!)

If visiting in Kansas, never forget to attend the Celebration Cook-off. In here you will get to rub elbows with professionals on the world of culinary and gain new friends and acquaintances!
