The First Annual Chili Cook-Off

Amy and Brian came up with the idea of an annual chili cook-off. Party ideas have been swirling around since they bought the farm and this seemed like a great addition to the Fourth of July weekend festivities.

Being true to our roots, we had to bring Cincinnati Style Chili. Usually people who have never had it before don't like it. It seems like one of those things you have to grow up with, but surprisingly it was well received. Even if it didn't win best of show.
