Louisiana State and La CASI Louisianne Pod cook-offs
Sat, Jan 16, 2027 and Sun, Jan 17, 2027 · Shreveport, LA · CASI-sanctioned
Our take written by Chili Times
Two CASI qualifiers share 5939 Old Mooringsport RD in Shreveport on consecutive days, a double qualifying weekend benefiting Taste Of Blanchard/NW Highschool. The Louisiana State Cookoff on Saturday is a state qualifier at $25.00 with a 2pm turn-in and open meat, and the listing says the first three Louisiana cooks qualify for TICC. The La CASI Louisianne Pod Cookoff on Sunday is a POD qualifier at $25.00 with a 1pm turn-in and Chili Grind meat.
Cooks set up in the breezeway or under the canopy at the school, or by their RVs. There is plenty of RV parking without hookups, early entry on Friday and a cooks supper Friday night, and cooks are welcome to spend Sunday night.
