Bonnie and I have hosted an annual chili cook-off party at our home in the Central District since 2005. We love seeing everyone at the party and tasting all the great chili’s. I’m always surprised at the wide range of chili variations out there.

From 2000-2005 , I organized and hosted an annual chili cookoff at my workplace, drugstore.com. It was very popular with the employees and was a company sponsored event. At one point there were more than 20 chilis in the competition and 150+ chili eaters. Prizes were awarded for best overall, best meat, best veggie and hottest.
