Thousands of hungry Milwaukeeans flocked to the MSOE Kern Center on Sunday for WMSE’s 23rd annual Rockabilly Chili Fundraiser. While there, these hearty chili lovers sampled a wide range of chilis from oodles of Milwaukee restaurants, cafes, and caterers (more than 40 participating establishments in total). There was Lakefront beer. There was WMSE merch. And, like we said before, there was a ton of people.

And there was voting! Attendees voted for their favorite chilis in five categories: Best Meat, Best Veggie, Best Heat, Most Unique, and Best Display. Here are this year’s winners!
