AMHERST, N.Y. (WKBW) — While some go for pizza and wings to watch football on Sunday, folks in Amherst are going with chili and a lot of it.
For the third year, 24 cooks from 18 different agencies are taking their spin on the fall favorite dish.
"Why not chili? Right? It's fall, it's football, it's chili! Chili time," said organizer Trey Johnson.
It's also for charity! The event has raised $4,000 in years past.
"We're all wearing ugly sweaters, we're dressed down. We're all people right," said Johnson. "We're police, we're fire, but we're still people. So you come out, we engage with you in a low impact, low confrontational type setting."
Donations brought will be given to the Buffalo Sabres Alumni Food Drive and distributed to Western New York Families.
