We've done extensive research, and have come to the conclusion that Mercury readers enjoy 1) Food and 2) Music. Which is why we're bringing back our second annual Chili Jamboree!
As you may recall from last year's stunning success, our Chili Jamboree (or Chili Jam for short) is built around the brilliant cooking of some of the cities finest chefs, as well as the countrified tunes of Portland's fine musicians. This year, the event is split into two shift on Sunday, Oct 5 at Mississippi Studios. Black Prairie, Hook & Anchor, and the Earnest Lovers will throw down sets of boot-stompin' live music at both, and the breakdown of culinary brilliance will be spread about as follows:

Wear your eating pants, because you'll want to sample as many of these rib-sticking creations as possible, and vote on which cook receives the coveted Chili Belt!
Tickets for each session are $20 each, but right now, for a limited time, you can enter the discount code CHILI2015 for five bucks offa that. I suggest you do so, and make haste! It pays to be an early, dirty country birdie.
