'Chilly' in August


Written by: Tim Brown, Community Relations Coordinator


Not the brrr it is cold kind of chilly, but rather the kind that heats you up. Engine and Truck Co. No. 8 in East Liberty challenged the chefs at Giant Eagle Market District to a Chili Cook-Off! This epic battle took place last week at the Citiparks East Liberty Farmers' Market with the proceeds to be divided between East End Cooperative Ministry and the Muscular Dystrophy Association.





The firemen at No. 8 and the chefs at Market District each made two different kinds of chili with the winner to be declared by those in attendance after they sampled each chili. Many were in attendance because 30 gallons of chili was eaten in just over two hours!




And the winner was... Dragon Breath Chili from Engine and Truck Co. No 8! Congratulations to the firemen and to the chefs for making such great chili! The true winners were the kids that are helped through the MDA and EECM's Children & Youth Programs!

Special THANKS to...

Chef David Kukasky, Chef Mike Bond and Josh Borgese from Market District for choosing EECM as their beneficiary!


Dan Barr, Jim McGinley, Dan Doyle, Matt Bachner, Matt Schmitt, Mike Skruch and all the men from Engine and Truck Co. No. 8!
