Tiferet Israel to host 19th annual Kosher Chili Cook-Off
Beef and vegetarian chili divisions to be accompanied by turkey division for first time

DALLAS – Tiferet Israel is gearing up for its 19th annual Kosher Chili Cook-Off, a daylong event Sunday, March 18 that benefits local nonprofit organizations. The event, which will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the grounds of Tiferet Israel, at 10909 Hillcrest Road in Dallas, is expected to draw an estimated 5,000 people. The chili cook-off is open to the public, and press is also invited and encouraged to cover.

The organizers of the cooking competition call the event the “19th annual funnest, tastiest, healthiest chili cook-off in Texas.” All chili prepared is kosher.

For the first time ever, the traditional beef and vegetarian chili divisions will be supplemented by a turkey chili division. Empire Kosher Poultry, which is dedicated to being truly natural, socially responsible and strictly kosher, and is the world’s largest producer of kosher chicken and turkey, will be donating the turkey for the contest.

“I am looking forward to bringing Empire Kosher’s ground turkey to Dallas so that no matter what recipes they’re using, the cooks in the turkey chili division will be able to make the healthiest, most delicious chili out there,” said Greg Rosenbaum, Empire’s CEO. “We are honored to participate, and I’m also pretty excited about all the kosher chili I’ll get to taste.”

Empire Kosher will be distributing samples of its newest product, Ready to Roast, a seasoned garlic and herb chicken that comes in an exclusive cook-in bag and is ready in 20 minutes in the microwave. The result is a tender, juicy chicken.

Responding to changing consumer preferences and an evolving sense of the responsibilities that go along with producing kosher food items, Empire Kosher offers a wide variety of all-natural, free-roaming, antibiotic-free and 100 percent vegetarian-fed poultry, all with no growth hormones added. Empire uses absolutely no animal by-products — only its own 100 percent vegetarian feed mixed to a unique and exacting formula.
