| Post subject: THIRD ANNUAL SHANGHAI CHILI COOK-OFF |
Ladies, gentlemen, cooks, chefs......start your pots as Bubba’s THIRD ANNUAL Shanghai Chili Cook-off is on the calendar and coming together like a big bowl of spicy heaven. Co-sponsored by Party On Catering and ShanghaiExpat, proceeds from the cook-off will go toward assisting underprivileged children gain educations in Shanghai, with donations going to Shanghai Sunrise Charity.
The date for this year's cook-off is Saturday, October 11, from Noon to 5 p.m. (public entry). Teams can start registering now....the entry form is attached and contains all the details, rules, etc. Participation is open to the first 20 teams that sign up….and pay the 250 rmb entry fee. For those interested, I can also hook you up with some good choice meat through CZC PRIME meat company. E-mail me for contact details.
Also, we are starting our search for judges, so if you have an interest in this area please let me know. Mark Brown will again be head judge coordinator, following up on the great job he did last year.
Public entry into the event is 100 rmb, which gets you food and/or beverage tickets valued at 100 rmb, as well as the opportunity to taste (unlimited) all of the entries for this year’s contest. You also will get a chance to vote for your favorite chili.
Lonestar Wind will once again provide musical entertainment and the rest of the zaniness will be contributed by participating teams. We also will have children face painting and a jumpy castle onsite to keep the little ones entertained.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me back.....i prefer emails....not PMs....kennethjoewalker@gmail.com.

Ok, it's a chili cook-off, but why does it always have to be chili? |

Sorry, I forgot the French amongst us would not understand.
Why does the cook-off always have to involve chili? |

....it's called a CHILI COOK-OFF. If it were called a pizza cook-off.....i guess that would involve pizza and not chili. |

So, why the **** chili? Why not pizza? Everything in Shanghai has a average shelf-life of 2-3 years.
Good luck! |

haha.
This is the 2nd year in a row i am not here for it. As much as it is a yank tradition, i'm sure it would be quite fun as beer is undoubtably involved? |

Why Chili? Because of the food of the fire gods! Because you can pick a pizza on just about any downtown corner, but the elusive bowl of decent chili is exceedingly rare in Shanghai and deserves its own day to gather the chili magicians in celebration. |

Never been to one. Will there be people passing out and sent to hospital. Will there be People screaming "OMG it burns!!! its burns!!!". Rubbing chilli is the eyes context? A chilli so hot you will see steam/smoke coming out of the person?
Probably won't be going anyway, chilli irritates my stomach and sends me to the toilet making fire crackers! But i'll tell my indonesian freinds as they love chilli or anything thats spicey. |

It was such fun last year with some incredible chili. wow! the only problem was that there was a huge turnout and the venue's space was really small. I had hoped to bring the kids along to a family-ish event, but we had to leave early since they were trampled lcause it was like People's Squre Metro during rush hour...Will it be at a bigger place this year? I'm sure there will be at least as many people and probably more?!?!
...but damn, there was some good chilli. |

Did the little scandinavian guy ever find the keys to his golf scooter?
Hopefully, the space problems will be solved. I recall KJ mentioning a new plan after last years plan was foiled by a neighbor. |

The 1st annual Haggis cook off, followed by the 1st annual vomit projectile competition, will be the end of November.
As an Aussie, mate, i'm sticking with the yanks on this one. Their food maybe crap, but at least it's not sheeps guts. |

I believe it was Snappy Sammy's great great great uncle twice removed on his mother's side...
Except the first they made it , had a crust and some red sauce on it...
Bagged the crust, refined the red sauce to it's present day state |
