Competitor Profile: Evil Jerk Cart
Can you hear the steel drums?! That’s the Evil Jerk Cart making her way to the SF Bay Chili Cook-off. Lisette Titre has been bringing her authentic Caribbean street food to many well-known Bay Area festivals including Eat Real Fest, Oakland’s Art Murmur, and @ForageSF’s Underground Market (RIP). She is famous for her Evil Jerk Chicken prepared with Scotch Bonnet peppers but also makes delicious versions of the vegan Rastafarian Irie Ital Stew and Coconut Beans and Rice — all of which sound like they could provide amazing inspiration for her competition chili.
We are so excited to have this SF Weekly Best Street Food Cart as part of the competition.
Good luck, Lisette!
You can catch her at the upcoming Jamaican Jerk Cook-off at Linden Street or wherever Evil Jerk Cart will turn up bext by liking her on Facebook.
Competitor Profile: Wine with Swine
For those who are craving the traditional rusty red, we’ve got you covered! The Wine with Swine competition team are bringing the heat. These guys have been competing all over Northern California for the last four years and win often. They qualified for California State Championship last year in Santa Cruz and are looking to go to the World Championships of Food. Based out of San Jose, they cite Oakland’s Eat Real Fest as one of the most fun events in which they participated when they placed 4th in the BBQ competition at Meatopia last year.
The best part about this team of manly carnivores is that they focus their competition efforts on cook-offs that benefit children to ensure that every child has a chance to grow up happy and healthy. Our support of Adopt a Special Kid is right up their alley!
Best of luck, Wine with Swine!
Check out their 2013 schedule to catch them at one of their 10+ events this year.
Competitor Profile: Bump City Bakery
We are excited to announce that Bump City Bakery is taking a break from their hectic pop-up and delivery schedule to concoct something delicious for the SF Bay Chili Cookoff!
Bump City was founded by Emily who honed her scratch baking skills in her grandmother’s Kansas kitchen. Known for their boozy creations like Bourbon Crispy Cremes and Rum Spiked Banana Pudding as well as traditional creations like tiny Strawberry Pies (above) — you will no doubt be tipsy with delight with whatever sugary treat they bring.
Can’t wait until May 4th? Orders can be placed for pickup or delivery on Good Eggs.
Good luck, Emily!

Competitor Profile: Sunnyside Catering and Biscuits
Sunnyside Catering and Biscuits, out of Oakland, is ready to compete! Best known for his biscuits made any number of ways, Ben Lillywhite has been working the pop-up scene on both sides of the Bay. His brisket biscuit is probably the most popular — a cheddar biscuit, dolloped with a healthy portion of slow cooked Niman Ranch brisket, and a Greek horseradish yogurt. But he’s been known to pull out some creative twists like turkey biscuits for Thanksgiving and, more recently, a corned beef and cabbage with Guinness gravy for St. Paddy’s.
His southern influence definitely glimmers through a variety of his dishes and no doubt will serve him well in the SF Bay Chili Cook-off. We are excited to have him be a part of the event.
Already drooling for those cheddar biscuits? You are in luck, they are available via Good Eggs for local pickup. Not in the Bay Area? Maybe if you talk real nice, he’ll mail them to you.
Good luck, Ben!
