Chomp and Stomp has been one of Atlanta's favorite culinary events for more than a decade, serving as a 5K, chili cook-off, and bluegrass festival in the streets of Cabbagetown. Saturday's party marked the 13th year for the event, and despite the gray skies, cold temperatures held off for once. Twenty-six local restaurants and many individual competitors offered up their own varieties of chili, and 20 bands provided twangy tunes for the soundtrack. Here now, relive the action from Chomp and Stomp 2015.
