The 16th Annual great Yuba Pass Chili Cookoff!
Yep, it was Saturday. Folks had fun and ate chili. The weather was meh, but the crowd was fantastic. There were at least 150 people, with 26 chilies. The crowd was rowdy but happy, and the judges were completely irrational.
The winners were:
First: Danny Henson’s World Famous Habanero Delight
Second: Tess
Third: The Granddaughters of the North Fork
Fourth: Leroy Wright’s Earthquake tied with Fatheree’s Contender
Ass Last: Larson’s New England Clam Chili
People’s Choice: we didn’t get it!
We don't know, but congratulations!
What's that smell?
