Chili Bowl Cookoff

Part of the success of any business, especially one that has an actual product is promotion. Promotion of the product, promotion of the business name. We decided last year that this year we'd enter the Chili Bowl Cookoff for two reasons - to promote the business (we were thinking Chica Chica Chop Chop at the time) and because we felt we could do a really good chili.

So, we had a banner done by ZONES who has been very helpful getting us stuff quick for just such occasions, and made about SIXTEEN GALLONS of chili. (Power 105 recommended 5-7 gallons and we had two entries. Well we ended up with leftover, not because we didn't dish it out, I just think people can't eat that much chili.

We made a delicious vegetarian chili with tofu, and a spicy beef chili that had three kinds of bell peppers, fire roasted jalapenos, beef brisket, and black and red beans. We didn't win any prizes (this year) but there's always next year, and the important thing is that we got the word out to lots of people and hopefully kept up the buzz. Thanks to everyone who came out and told us how delicious our chili was.
