FORGET THE Super Bowl (no Packers) and enjoy another Milwaukee favorite, the Chili Bowl. The third annual Chili Bowl returns to Serb Hall at 5101 W Oklahoma Ave., Sunday, January 25, 2009 (1pm-5pm), a week ahead of the football finale. Reserve your seat, and you'll be able to taste traditional chili, along with specialty chilis like seafood, sweet potato or bratwurst chili.
