The City of Knoxville 13th annual Chili Cook-Off will be held tomorrow from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the City Hall Community Room.

Chief Dan Losada with the Knoxville Police Department and former winner of the contest, tells KNIA/KRLS News the contest began after his first year in Knoxville and became a way to get city employees together that normally never see each other. Chief Losada says the winner of the contest will receive the Golden Ladle. He says the Golden Ladle is passed to each winner of the contest and there is always fierce competition to see who will take it home.
