Katy cook-off venue
Chili cook-offs at The Dryer
Booths, judges' tent and a crowd that came hungry. Dozens of cooking teams plus the public.

How it works here
Why The Dryer fits
The Marketplace rows take the team booths with power and water nearby, the stage hosts the awards, and the bar and lawn keep the public happy between tastings. We have hosted chili and BBQ competitions from club size to county size.
