The Waterfront Cook-Off essentially consisted of a few dozen chili and bbq vendors, a small beer garden, a few family-friendly games and competitions, and official chili and bbq competitions. The California State Championship Chili Cook-Off (sanctioned by International Chili Society [ICS]) judged the chilis, and Kansas City BBQ Society handled the barbeque entries. The four winners will go on to compete in the ICS world championship in Des Moines, Iowa, on Sept. 7-8.
