Morey’s Piers is also offering public taste-testing beginning at 1pm. Tasting kits are $8 for season pass holders and $10 for non-pass holders. Tasting kits include five taste tickets, tasting cups, and a “guest choice ballet”.
“Our West Coast friends over at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk have two great cook off events each year so we decided to bring the idea to the best boardwalk on the East Coast,” said Kristel Jenkins, Events and Entertainment Manager. “What better way to end a season and welcome winter than with a hot bowl of chili or chowder?”
