4th Annual Bocas Del Toro Chili Cook-off

The 4th Annual Bocas Del Toro Chili Cook-off was held today at the Wari Wari restaurant, right off main street in downtown Bocas Del Toro. Eight different teams entered the competition, including last year’s winning team, Shelly’s BBQ.

The annual Chili Cook-off is put on by volunteers from BESO (Bocas Education Services Organization). BESO raises money to purchase school supplies for local children here in the Bocas Del Toro archipelago.

UPDATE: Shelly’s BBQ took home the first prize for the second year in a row!
