The fourth annual Satan’s Revenge ChiliFest to benefit the Central Pennsylvania Humane Society is scheduled for tomorrow at 7 p.m. at Burgi’s Roundhouse Bar & Grille on E. Pleasant Valley Blvd. in Greenwood.
The Daily Herald’s own Sam J. Zema will appear at the ChiliFest as a celebrity judge.
The cook-off will feature offerings from The Phoenix, Altoona Hotel, Michael’s Café, Uriah’s Pub, T.G.I. Fridays, Burgi’s Roundhouse, the Altoona Fire Department, Racer’s Sports Bar & Restaurant and Louie’s Coral Lounge.
Also featured this year will be a special cook-off between WTAJ-TV meteorologist Joe Murgo and ChiliFest founder/organizer and executive director of CPHS, Dave Hopkins. Guests will be encouraged to sample chili from both, then vote for their favorite.
