502 Chili Week kicked off yesterday and runs through Sunday, October 26. It’s the brainchild of City Dining Club Louisville, with sponsorship by AppyHour and Four Roses Bourbon.
Chili Week is here! Twenty restaurants will be offering $3 cups of chili the week of October 19-25. Select restaurants will be offering a special Four Roses Bourbon cocktail, and $2 from every drink sold will support Twisted Pink. Thank you to our sponsors, AppyHour and Four Roses!
There’s a useful overview at Louisville Business First. Haley Cawthon writes, “Many restaurants will be offering the chili with other menu items, such as grilled cheese, french fries or burger, for a small up-charge. Select restaurants will also offer a special Four Roses cocktail, and $2 from every drink sold will support Twisted Pink for breast cancer awareness month.”
