On March 15th ten Ibex cooks brought their best chili’s to
be judged in the annual Chili Cook-Off. This years cooks
were Carl Berg, Lucy DiFrancisco, Bill Haussmann, Kathy
Burns, Jim Malinowski, Chris Smith, Rich Fontagneres,
Joe Davis, Cindy Lane, and Mary Kay Swanlund.
This years winners were Carl Berg for Hottest, Chris
Smith for Spiciest, Kathy Burns for Most Unusual
and Mary Kay Swanlund for Best Tasting.
A special thanks to all the cooks who make the cook-off
possible, to Ivana Horak for her wings, to all those who
brought desserts and to Cindy Warta for counting the
votes.
After we finished tasting, the winners received their 1 st
place aprons and the remainder of the night was spent
drinking and socializing. Finally thanks to all the judges
who picked these award winning chili’s. It’s not to early
to start thinking about your recipes for next year!!!
