We had 15 people enter and 15 great chilis. Thanks to all that participated. They were all good because they are all gone by the end of the day. Please be sure to thank all the Chef’s for sharing their fine chili. If you need more you will have to ask them for their recipe. Blake’s chili is available at the Stop 4-1 Bar and he says it goes good with a beer.
