Friendly competition. The benefits can be undeniable. If we work together, we can all make each better, right?
Well with that mindset we bravely embarked upon our first Review Team journey into the arena of a food contest.
Seeking familiar footing, we made this unfamiliar journey by agreeing to become judges at a local chili cook-off.
The terms of engagement appeared initially within reach. 20 entries, cast a vote for your singular overall winner.
Well, then things became...complicated.
First of all, while 20 individual samplings didn't seem daunting at the outset, let me tell you that the amount of fiber involved was substantial. In fact, one of our Review Team Members received a text from the "Southern Hemisphere" that an urgent transaction could not be delayed. (If anyone reading this gets that reference, please post a reply.)
While the styles of chili varied, the quality did not. Individual preferences may have ruled the day, but there was no denying that all submissions were excellent.
This being our first chili cook-off, we clearly had much to learn and our Review Team felt appropriately "schooled" by the couple who brought muffin tins to collect their samples in. Professionals, to be sure.
Amongst the other things we learned was to get there early (which we did), because the chili troughs of the contestants can run dry before you've had your opportunity to feed.
Near the end of the competition our Review Team revealed our individual findings and realized that they were in perfect harmony. Each and every one of us voted for different winners!
While it is important to note that ALL viewpoints are valued here at Henry's Take, it is equally as important to note that I have the privilege of constructing this post, so I am duly authorized to declare the official winner as "Cadillac Pat's Turbo Charged Chili."
Long may the champions reign, that is until next year...
And that's...Henry's Take.
