Chili Cookoffs Show Off Classic Debates and Regional Flair
Chili heads travel coast to coast chasing world titles at Goose Island in Chicago amid fierce debates over meat cuts and tomato bases. Deb Turner, Kathy and Dick Austin, and Greg Virant chase prize replicas of a covered wagon and Las Vegas bids, paying their own way and feeding Lakeview Pantry. Judges sample 30 chilis, noting regional tastes from sweet to hot while beans remain banned.
