Two days ago the Bonanza, Oregon Volunteer Fire Department hosted a very successful 4th Annual Oregon State Chili Cookoff in conjunction with the Bonanza Homemade Hobby Festival. This ICS sanctioned cookoff drew contestants from several western states as well as Oregon, and the winners list is a great testimonial to the tremendous nationwide popularity of chili and the large number of people from all over who love to prepare it in competitions and at home as well I'm certain. See how many different states you can find in this list.
Salsa: 1st place - Lynn Robinson, Lincoln, CA; 2nd place - Debra Turner, Taylorsville, UT; 3rd place - Linda Hammerich, Bonanza, OR
Chili Verde: 1st place - Jim Beaver, Monmouth Lake, CA; 2nd place - Scott Stanley, Tacoma, WA; 3rd place - Dionne Cooley, Reno, NV
Red Chili: 1st place - Harry Robinson, Lincoln, CA; 2nd place - Ray Bogart, Boulder City, NV; 3rd place - Jim Beaver, Monmouth Lake, CA
Congratulations folks! I wouldn't be surprised if the Robinson's from Lincoln, CA suddenly have a host of friends who just happen to stop by in hopes of getting a taste of some championship salsa and chili before the Robinson's head for Las Vegas and the ICS 2008 World Championship Chili Cookoff. Personally, I'm kinda partial to Chili Verde, so I'm thinking of heading to Monmouth Lake, CA. Ha! Have some fun folks! Eat more chili!
Thanks Bonanza, OR for putting on another great chili cookoff and showing the world that chili should be the official food of planet Earth!
