With 14 chili entries and a smorgasbord of sides to enjoy, lunch was a salty and sweet event for Travoisians at our annual chili cook-off last week!

I WATCHED “CHOPPED” ON THE FOOD NETWORK LAST NIGHT AND THE LADY THAT WON MADE CHILI IN THE ENTRE’ ROUND AND HER INGREDIENT THAT MADE HER THE TOP CHEF WAS CINNAMON ROLLS. SHE PUT THEM “IN” HER CHILI. IN THE CHILI – I DON’T KNOW…..
