MALTA >> The dining should be PRIME from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday when four Saratoga County firehouses take part in a chili cook-off hosted by Mazzone Hospitality PRIME Business Dining and GlobalFoundries.

Chili recipes from the firehouses will be judged by construction workers in the Foundry Cafe Tent and Patio at the Fab 8 Construction Site in Malta.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.

Participating fire departments have been working with Mazzone Hospitality chefs to prepare their recipes for the estimated 350 tasters. Mazzone is providing all the ingredients for the cook-off.

The sampling fee is $5 and includes tastings of all the chili recipes as well as cornbread and water. 

Mazzone Hospitality will match the donations generated from the event.

Sounds like it will be a terrific — and tasty — event.
