Chili Takedown Results & Aftermath
photos by angela cranford
We got beefed up at the insanely packed Chili Takedown at Union Pool yesterday, and seriously folks, there was some good eatin’ in that sardine can. Matt did a pretty good job of managing the herd, which saw over 35 chili chefs serve up their best medleys. My personal favorite was full of gamey meats like Quail, Boar and the like, but the surging crowd, and the judges, chose otherwise. Here are the official results:
The Judges’ Choice:
1. Katie Feola and Anne Garrett’s – #11 Pam Brown White Chili (It was stage left. And delicious.)
2. Nick Suarez – #7 ‚”If You Like it Then You Shoulda’ Put a Ring on it” Chili
3. Theo Peck – #18 ‚”Whoremel”
The People’s Choice:
1. Theo Peck – won $100 bucks, was set up stage right and had homemade sausage in it. Also won last month’s s’MACdown with this mac n’ cheese recipe.
2. Steve Cash
3. Nick Suarez
Next month, chef’s turn their focus to bacon for the Bacon Takedown. We’ll add the info when we get it.
