It's just about an hour-and-a-half east drive from Santa Clara, where the Super Bowl was held on Sunday at Levi's Stadium.
Pat Brown is the port's captain and a retired fire captain of Santa Clara, home of the 2026 Super Bowl. For him and the sailing club, this means more than just football and chili.
"It's really an event, the chili cookoff goes back from when Tom Lueck started here in the club," Brown said. "He's been a longtime member, along with me, and he was also an engineer in the fire department. And so he was really involved in this, so he started this chili cookoff. So, it's a really neat event ad it's a lot of fun, and Tom really supported a lot of events here from Delta Ditch Run to all these different events and the kids program, so things like this. So, this is just kind of the continuance of his great thing he did."
"For at least 18 years, so we had a prior member, Tom Lueck, who, unfortunately, is no longer with us but in his memory, he started the chili cookoff years ago and he was a fireman, as well," Deborah Doscher, Stockton resident, said.

"I've never been here before," Davis said. "I didn't even know this existed out here. It's just beautiful. I got to, they have a small outdoor kitchen and I got to sit down there by the water and cook my chili this morning and just enjoy the morning and the Delta. It was just amazing, it was really beautiful."
"Just because Seattle destroyed the Niners, I have to go for Seattle," Brown said. "I have to stay NFC West. I can't go for the Patriots, they're back East Coast, those guys."
