Man up and hit this jamboree, filled with booths featuring chili-inspired foods as low as $3 from El Taco (roasted chili pepper & chicken tacos w/ green chili stew), DBA Barbecue (braised beef-stuffed c-peps w/ Brunswick stew), and Mali Thai & Sushi Bar, serving Thai BBQ chicken skewers. Cool off with 22oz bevvies, including $5 beers (Abita, Dos Equis, Miller Lite), $7 margaritas/sweet iced tea vodkas; there'll also be live music from local bands like Shark Fighter! and El Scorcho, plus a chili pepper eating contest starting at 5:30pm, which you'll miss watching the door for Anthony Kiedis to show up.
