Chili Cookoff Hits Turbulent Trail in Terlingua
The third annual World's Championship Chili Cookoff in Terlingua Texas faced chaos as several figures including Woodrow De Silva and Joe De Frates missed the event or searched in vain for the airport. De Silva, famed for designing LAX and cochampion in 1968, arrived with an electronic chili gauge and cooked nine green chilies with bull meat to win. The competition suffered from missing ballots and travel mixups, while next year plans include airport expansion and gunway considerations over Dirty Women Creek.
