There's never a bad time to heat up with chili and then cool down with Colorado craft beers and spirits, but if you can do it for a good cause, so much the better. On Saturday, March 3, Zach's Chili Challenge combined great food and booze with a fundraiser for the Morgan Adams Foundation, which funds pediatric cancer research and therapy. Winners were crowned for red chili (Bad Daddy's Burger Bar, green chile (Bon Appetit Food Service), wild-card chili (Sodexho), beer (Crooked Stave Artisan Ales) and spirits (Rocker Spirits), with votes coming from attendees and judges alike. Guests went home with warm hearts and bellies.
