Why did we create the Landmark Realty Group’s Annual Chili Cook-Off? Besides the opportunity to eat delicious offerings of chili, this flavor-filled event is our way of saying “thank you” to our clients and community for another great year. At Landmark Realty Group, we are grateful for our clients, neighbors and families. With the annual Chili Cook-Off Business After Hours Season Finale with Landmark Realty Group, we share an evening of fun and food tastings against the gorgeous backdrop of Cashiers, North Carolina.
Get in the Fall Spirit with a Western North Carolina Chili Cook-Off
Why chili? There’s just something about that first hint of coolness in the air that instantly makes you want to throw on an oversized cozy sweater and eat one thing…CHILI! Turn on a ball game, curl up on the couch and savor a big bowl of your favorite recipe. Sure, there are many fall favorites for cooler months such as chicken and dumplings (or any soup, really), sweet potatoes, beef stew, and pumpkin bread. But, no one can deny that the crowning fall food champion is chili. We all know it. We all love it. And, though there is a multitude of varieties in heat, flavor, ingredients and toppings, the one thing we can all agree on is that this comfort food definitely hits the spot when temperatures start to dip.
At Landmark Realty Group, we couldn’t agree more. That’s why we are in our second decade of hosting our community’s Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours and Landmark Realty Group’s Annual Chili Cook-Off. And whether you are a local or you’re in town visiting, we encourage you to join us and get in on the fun!
For those unfamiliar with the area, Cashiers, NC is a quaint and picturesque town in the Western North Carolina Mountains. At an elevation of more than 3,500 feet, Cashiers, NC is a popular destination for those looking to escape the heat and enjoy the majestic mountain scenery.
A visit to this area, particularly in autumn, offers unparalleled views of fall foliage at its peak color explosion! Fall in the mountains is a magical time. The presence of crisp cooler air beckons all kinds of autumn experiences: the first log fire of the season, sweaters and furry slippers, pumpkin spiced coffee and apple cider, and carving pumpkins picked from the local farmers market’s bounty of diverse and interesting gourds.
