I've got to tell you; as cool as a chili cook off may sound, it really isn't. Here's why; every goof ball thinks they make the best chili in the entire chili loving world, but as American Idol, kids who wear their pants hanging off of their ass, and those who just love country music show, bad taste abounds. Here's the other thing, while a bowl of chili may be fine, sampling 12 different chili's with secret ingredients like bacon, maple syrup, bourbon, or Pop Rocks, your stomach can only handle so much. I participated in a company sponsored chili cook off more than 9 hours ago and I'd still appreciate it if someone would kill me.
The wierd thing is the event was meant to boost the annual charity giving season. An effort to raise awareness and money for a number of good causes including food shelters. We did this by gorging ourselves.
Next time your asked to take part in a chili cook off, be a jerk and say, "If you've tasted one chili, you've tasted them all." Then go get yourself a nice sandwich. Your breath, spouse, kids, and behind can thank me later...

Company sponsored chili cook offs are the worse ... unless your company is Smuttynose Brewing or BK Enterprises. Large insurance companies should stick to quilting bees, ice fishing tournaments and blind-folded-tag-team underwriting marathons.
You've got to live blog your first opium smoke-off on the docks of Hong Kong...
