Inching Towards Normal, Kalamazoo Restaurant Week Returns
There's financial reasons to do it, obviously, but for us consumers, it's another piece of what we've been missing for almost a year now. Starting with the annual Downtown Kalamazoo Chili Cook-off and followed by the Downtown Kalamazoo Restaurant Week, both are set to happen in the next few weeks.
First things first, the Downtown Kalamazoo Chili Cook-Off is Saturday, February 27th. The 16th annual has been re-imagined as an outdoor event, with tents set up on the south Kalamazoo Mall. If you're into collectibles, there will be commemorative tasting spoons on sale for just $5. And there contest element will be handled via text. While your wandering, tasting chili, text “CHILI” to 59925 and rate the chili. (Winners will be announced after all the chili is gone, the final burps are made, and votes have been counted.
