Famous Chili Recipes attended their first chili cook-off in Georgia as a spectator this past Saturday. The cook-off was sponsored by Rocco’s Pub in Marietta and all proceeds from the event were donated to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.

Not only did I have a great time eating a lot of great chili, I also met many awesome people. Let me take the time now to say hello to Kevin Williams, Bill Donnelly, Steve Nelson, Kevin Miller, Pete Miller and everyone else that I talked with on Saturday. I learned so much about competition chili, and I had a super afternoon.

Find out who took home top honors along with a hefty $1000 prize by reading the entire article about the 2009 Georgia State Chili Cook-off. There are also pictures from the event in the article but here are a few just for the blog.
