I was the reigning chili cook off champion for the last two years and tonight I put my title on the line once again. I put my heart and soul into this chili. It is a great recipe, made from scratch, full of flavor and high quality ingredients. In years past the competition hasn't been real close so I had some confidence going in that my chili would hold its own. My friend said he would be bringing a chili to the competition but didn't really have high expectations as it was Nally chili out of a can. Another friend brought a fantastic chili that was easily one of the best ones in the competition. Then another friend brought a Philly cheese steak chili that was also quite good and one of my top ranked. When the announcements were made I was announced first as the second place chili. My friend Gary took third with the Philly cheese steak chili. At this point I fully expected Mike to win with his excellent chili that pretty much had it all. Not so. Tyler was announced the winner with his canned chili. I may have thrown up a bit in my mouth. That made the loss kind of hard. I don't know that I will continue to take the competition seriously if canned chili takes the cake. It was a tough loss but that is okay. In the end, my crock pot that was full of chili was empty, just about scraped clean. Somebody must have liked it.
