Di Bruno Bros Returns as Cheese Bar Sponsor

We can not express how excited we are to have Di Bruno Bros. return (for the fourth year) as a Philly Chili Bowl Cheese Bar sponsor!

It all started in 2012 when 3rd generation Di Bruno Bros. owner – Emilio Mignucci joined us on the judging panel. We fed him 25 chili’s at the 2012 Philly Chili Bowl and he handled it with grace. Not only did he agree to endure masses of flavors and heat-level’s,…

No Meat, but a Lot of Hart!

At BigBite we can be purists about how we define Chili. According to Webster’s:

Chili – a spicy dish made of ground beef, hot peppers or chili powder, and usually beans.

For the most part, we stand by that and let our competitor’s rock out with all of the other fun variables but there are so many awesome vegetarian dishes and veggie chefs out there that the last thing we want to do is exclude…
