Every year on Super Bowl Sunday, dozens of local restaurants have sent their chefs to Pearly Baker's Alehouse in Easton for a competition to determine who makes the best chili. This cook-off -- which returns Sunday at 11 a.m. for its 18th year -- typically draws a line-out-the-door crowd. And within that tradition is a mini-tradition.
