2009- Fourth Annual Chili Cook-off
Just a heads up to all that this year's Chili Cook-off, the Fourth one, is scheduled for Saturday, Oct 31st. If you haven't been to this party before, it's not to be missed. And this year promises to be a little more off hook since it's on Halloween and more than just the teams will be dressing up.
Big question is will last year's champ, Turley, be around to defend his title?
Mark it on your calendars now. Each year we have around 500 people attend to enjoy live music outside, great chili, cold beer, and just a great time.
If you want on the list to receive more information, such as entry details if you think you have what it takes, then email me.... kennethjoewalker@gmail.com. I prefer that over PMs.

Is this going to be like this previous racist event where only Yank judges are allowed?  Or are Aussies (who we all know are the best Chefs), are allowed to judge? |

Will there be a live band and if so what genre? If not, would you like to book a band as I am getting a funk five piece together (strictly rare groove and P-Funk)?
I'm playing bass, bitchezzz.

Aparently, judges have to be yanks. Well, they did last year. Perhaps KJ can elighten us to this years judging panel.
Assuming KJ, Gary and some yank hamburger chef, but hopefully, they realise that Aussie chefs are the sh1t, and grab someone like Neal or Matt from BJ, or David Laris. |

Hey hey hey now. Don't talk without knowing what you're talking about. We've had judges from outside the U.S. in the past. We had a french chef in fact, furthest thing you'd ever expect to find at a chili cook-off.
Not sure about an ozzie one, but heck I am open.
Dilligaf is right.....i prefer to see major restaurants competing, especially an Americanized one.
And before you start talking about "the fix" I can assure you that this is the furthest thing in Shanghai from being fixed. The judging is done totally behind closed doors and I am not even slightly involved other than making the announcement when certain teams need to turn sample in for judging. The judges in fact are sequestered for about 3 hours, so actually it's not the best place to spend half the day but they do drink free and get to sample at least half of the chili. I say half cause we have group's A and B, and half the judges taste the A group and half tastes the B group, then the top ones are passed to a final set of judges who judge and actually pick the winners.

Malone`s will not be able to take part as we are doing a big golf bbq that afternoon near Thumb and Tong Ren is catering a joint international schools bbq halloween party so all the chefs are out doing lots of outside catering events that day. Sorry guys, i know its put a whole downer on the event now that our great "Beef n Bean Chili will not be in the running that afternoon. Have a good day nonetheless |

Calm down... I think it's just that the Chili Cookoff competition doesn't allow for beans. |

So I guess everyone is disqualified?
Tomato's are fruit |

Tomatoes scientifically speaking are fruit because of the seed structure....but we all know chef's use them as a vegetable. They go with chili.
Stop trying to get the field disqualified so that you might have a chance at winning this year. haha |

Since this Cookoff is about the Texas definition of Chili and the culture that goes with it... I can see any good Texan fervently protecting the sanctity of the Texas style chili bowl. Its all about the meat.. anything else gets in the way. |
