Well, I'm still waiting for official results, but I already know for sure that B5 boss did NOT win the part of the chili cookoff that would have sent her to the citywide competition.
We had two categories; the official judging, done by two people outside the transit system and then a People's Choice.
The official judges are the ones who decide who goes on to the city competition, and I already know what their vote was, so she didn't get that.
I'd be highly surprised if she gets the People's Choice either, even though it was a blind taste test, so theoretically nobody knew who had made which chili.
But she made a very mild, sweet Cincinnati chili and it's just NOT what people tend to like around here. She was boasting about her chili last week, that we would find out what "good" chili was, like she was gonna edumacate us dumb Southerners.
But we know what we like in our chili and it ain't cinnamon and allspice. Those belong in the sweet rolls and pies!
The rest of them were all really good. Only one hot enough for me to even tell it was spicy though. A couple of veggie versions, one with sausage, one with deer meat, one with lamb--which was better than I expected, and one with a mixture of meats, including BEAR meat.
