Chili Cold Blood is proud to present the 17th Annual Chili Cold Blood Chili Cook-Off (CCBCCO) at The Sagebrush (5500 South Congress) from noon to 7:00 pm on Saturday, February 8, 2025.
The 2025 cook-off will feature performances by Chili Cold Blood, The Point, The Lonesome Heroes, Sentimental Family Band, and J Moeller and The Drag.
All proceeds for the event will be donated to Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM) in memory of Nick Curran, an Austin-based musician who influenced countless artists and passed away from cancer on October 6, 2012.
The mission of Health Alliance for Austin Musicians is to provide access to affordable health care for Austin’s low income, uninsured working musicians, with a focus on prevention and wellness. Austin is the "Live Music Capital of the World," yet many professional working musicians are self-employed and rarely have access to health insurance. Without insurance, they can't afford preventive health care, including primary medical care, basic dental services and mental health counseling.
In 2012, local Austin rock 'n roller and international blues, rockabilly and badass sensation Nick Curran passed away from complications due to oral cancer. His mark on music history and his continued presence as an influence for so many musicians is why Chili Cold Blood continues to host the CCBCCO in his honor. Nick Curran played drums on Chili Cold Blood's debut album, "Rock 'n Roll Motherf*cker."

Prizes will be awarded for first, second, and third place chilis. Chili will be judged by a blind panel on 5 criteria: flavor, originality, aroma, aftertaste & color (on a 1 to 10 scale - 10 being the best in all categories and 1 being the worst).
Additionally, a “People’s Choice” winner will be voted on by attendees.
The winner of the chili cook-off will be announced before Chili Cold Blood plays, around 5:30pm.
Handmade leather belt buckle trophies are donated by Julie Shaw.
Poster art by Drew Scherger.
A $10 donation will be collected at the door with all proceeds going directly to HAAM.
Children are welcome with adult supervision. PLEASE NO DOGS.
There is no entry fee for participants, but donations to HAAM are always encouraged. The contest is limited to the first 20 applicants and anything goes - chilis do not need to adhere to Texas Chili Cook-Off rules and regulations, and cooks should prepare chilis off site. To enter:
