    View Larger Map turn-by-turn directions, textosaurus driving directions, aerial photo) in Berkeley, California.
  • Who? WELL members, friends and family of all ages are welcome.
  • What? A potluck party and a homemade chili competition
  • Why? Because WELL people love to get together face-to-face to share, to celebrate, to laugh and enjoy each other's company. Also, we like to eat and talk trash about each other's cooking. Well, some of us do, anyway. Join us!
  • The rules for entering chili? Check it out

    In the beginning, there was chili. And The WELL spoke, saying, "Beans suck!", "Vegetarians will rule the earth!", "Sweet mother of god that's an ugly clock!" and other seeming non-sequitirs. And it was good.

    This system worked for many years, but eventually a great kvetching arose from the people who apparently weren't satisified with the venerable chili tradition. So we tried pies, and later stews.

    Last year, though, we returned to our roots, and once again cries of "Texans are on crack!", "you call that cornbread?", and "AAAAH! The clock of the beast!" wafted across the bay on a bright October day. The return to tradition was so beloved of the chili gods that someone actually came to the event with the express mission of claiming the oft-mocked trophy.

    Now another year has passed, and it's once again time to offer up a sacrificial bowl of red, green, white, (or whatever color chili floats your boat) to our crack team of chili judges in an attempt to claim the title of Well Chili Champion of 2008.

    Everybody's welcome to enter their best chili recipes in our competition. Want to make chili but don't want to compete? Not a problem, all chilis are welcome on our potluck table. Other suggested offerings run the gamut from guacamole or cheese to cornbread, cakes and cookies. The WELL will provide the plates, bowls, cutlery and napkins, the food we share with each other is up to us all.

    Note: Soft drinks and juices are welcome. However, please don't bring beer or hard liquor. Those will be available at the Yacht Club's bar. (Wine corkage may be arranged.)
