Oh, man - we gotta have rules? With 3 weeks to go, I guess it's time to decide how the annual Everybus Chili cookoff and world hunger abatement project is "supposed" to go. Again this year, 2 classes, meat and meatless. Hot isn't the grail. Flavor, consistency, presentation, aroma and aftertaste are what wins the favor of the judges. Last year one entry was presented exceptionally well and that alone would have won the contest except for a wonderful smoky pepper that blew the judges away! You can make it there that day, or you can make it ahead of time. Depends on how your chili likes to be eaten. A couple years ago I spent much of Saturday going around helping folks cut up ingredients and whatever I could to help them be ready in time. If you want to cook it there, it's perfectly ok to have your ingredients cut up beforehand. If you cook it ahead of time, that's fine, again I would think it depends if your recipe prefers to be served "fresh" or "aged". I make one request. Last year I inadvertently sampled a chili with an ingredient I am allergic to and had to run around the corner and 'uneat' the chili. I ask that entries have a list of ingredients so others are spared a similar indignity. Don't care how much of what is there, just that it's there. I apologize for this inconvenience but I hope this is not unreasonable to ask. If you don't feel that you can make world class chili, don't fret it. This year there is also an additional category, Best Side Dish. What goes well with chili? There will be prizes (I think) and with it goes the prestige of being "the best of the best" in the world of Everybus Chili. Frank Biffath watch yer back, they're gunnin' for ya!
