Cincinnati Chili Week will return for its second year this February, and Gold Star Chili is helping us celebrate with a special giveaway of $30,000 in free chili.
Chili Week kicks off Monday, Feb. 24 and runs through Sunday, March 2. Gold Star will be participating again this year with $5, $6 and $7 deals, including two cheese coneys for $5, a regular 3-, 4- or 5-Way for $6 or a Single Chili Burger with fries for $7. By dining at Gold Star during chili week, you can also become one of 10 people to win free chili for a year.
But that’s not the end of the free chili giveaway. On National Chili Day (Feb. 27), there will be an additional 50 people who will win free chili for a year. Gold Star President and CEO Roger David will personally hand out the prizes throughout the day at different Gold Star locations, and you’ll be able to follow his journey on the chili chain’s social media.
“The inaugural Cincinnati Chili Week was a smashing success in celebrating the dish that was, is and shall forever be the staple dish of Gold Star,” David said in a press release. “What better way is there to celebrate its return for a second year than by upping the ante and giving away even more free chili in 2025? We look forward to bringing smiles to people’s faces as we surprise and delight them On National Chili Day. We can’t wait to see the chili love flowing throughout the Queen City.”
Gold Star Chili’s Chili Week deal will be available for both lunch and dinner. To find a restaurant near you, visit goldstarchili.com.
