An update from this past weekend is clearly in order. Thanks first off to all those who came to the NY Chili Cookoff! It was great seeing so many of our friends come help us out, cheer us on, and pose as strangers to rave about our chili in line :) The turnout for this years cookoff was HUGE. From 12-3pm we had a continuous line to taste our chili, and ended up getting information from four separate people who want to work something out where they buy our chili. I see a catering business in my future...
Prize-wise we didnt win any chili categories, but we DID win second place for best booth/showmanship, so I'll take it. We learned a lot actually cooking two chili's during the cookoff. It takes a lot more organization that even we realized, and we came away with a better game plan for the DC 101 Chili Cookoff that we are competing in on May 12th. While we were clearly upset that we didn't place in the chili categories, we did see some flaws in the chili that are going to be fixed for May. We're changing up our recipe a little, which means more test batches will need to be made. I might seriously enter into a chili coma...
So here is the first shout out to all those in the DC / Maryland area - PLEASE get tickets for the DC 101 Chili Cookoff!! It's a really fun time every year, and we can definitely use your help and support! A huge concert follows the cookoff - this year the headliners so far are Cake and Incubus. Eat a lot of chili, drink a lot of beer, listen to music - what could be better?
