Sept. 13: Scrooge Pub & Dickens Lounge in Itaewon will host a chili cooking contest next month.

All of the proceeds from the one-day event will go toward efforts to fight HIV/AIDS in the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa, where over 40 percent of adults are infected with HIV.

Between 3 and 8 p.m. on Sept. 13, visitors will be able to choose from over 15 different types of chili.

The cost for visitors is 10,000 won and includes three scoops of the chili of your choice, two pieces of bread and a beaded souvenir doll. An additional scoop of chili may be purchased for 2,000 won, while an extra piece of bread runs 1,000 won.

Prizes will be awarded for the three best chili recipes based on aroma, flavor and heartiness. Those who want to enter the competition are encouraged to register as soon as possible.
