Bowls & Brews 2023
Saturday, January 14, 2023 | 4 to 7 pm
Episcopal Church of the Advent | 815 Piedmont Road | Tallahassee
It takes a whole parish family working together to create an event as warm and welcoming as this year’s BOWLS & BREWS this past January. We could not be more grateful to everyone who gave their talents, time and energy to make this event a success.
Our 2023 winners: Holy Comforter, represented by chef Tom Gray and his “Yowza!” chili, took home the coveted Episcopepper award for the top church entry. Tom also took first place overall. Returning 2020 winner Joseph Sams and family, representing St. Michael and All Angels, took second place with their “Yours and Mine Island Chili”.
Several wonderful chilis were entered by chefs in our Advent family, including Deacon Joe Scheff, June Vickers, John DiMino and Nancy Hough, our wonderful Bowls & Brews emcee Matt Rogers, Advent Parish Day School parent Katie Fuller, and teachers Kim Foltz and Tonya MacKinley.
We’re looking forward to doing it again in 2024! Mark your calendars for JANUARY 13, 2024. If you think you’d like to be a chef, start thinking about and practicing your chili for next year!
