About 40 IT employees took part in a Texas tradition today: a chili cook-off. Seven crockpot chefs created chilis that were judged by all those in attendance and the winner was Mike Rowe, Database Administrator. He claims his chili was “nothing special,” but the votes said otherwise. It was made from West Texas grass-fed beef, a secret mix of chili spices, a few fresh jalapenos, a couple cans of extra hot Rotel, and a little extra red pepper. Simmer for ten hours and voilà: He won bragging rights, $20, and a DIY trophy made from a jar of sausages.
Second prize–$5 and a can of Vienna sausages–went to Mike Henderson, Systems Engineer. Third prize, $1 and Vienna sausages, went to Sean Smyth, Director of IT Operations.

Finally got over all that tasting after 2 days (lol),
let’s not wait until winter to do it again!
Look out, Rowe!
