After a three-year hiatus, this free chili tasting party will take place Saturday, February 11th on Brattle Plaza (in front of Bluestone Lane at 27 Brattle Street) from 2pm – 3:30pm and will be hotter and spicier than ever before!
Some of Harvard Square’s most popular restaurants have been busy this week making batches of chili for this fun and festive event, including:
