Congratulations Nick!
The 2008 Iowa State Fair, one of the largest in the nation, just concluded, and Nick Gardner, from Grimes, Iowa, is the Iowa State Fair Chili Cookoff Champion AGAIN! That's right. AGAIN! Nick won last year, also. Sounds like he really has this chili thing down to an art.
I wonder if he used the exact same recipe this year. We'll try to find out and we will try to learn all of his secrets. Ha! Fat chance! I'm sure he would like to win again next year, and he won't be giving out any of his big secrets. Especially if he is going to Las Vegas after this state fair cookoff.
Nick's team is the "Hawkeye Chili" team, as in Iowa Hawkeyes, and he is a card-carrying member of the International Chili Society which is going to hold its World Championship Chili Cookoff in Las Vegas in October (see earlier post about this event).
Again, congratulations Nick! Keep cookin' that chili. The world needs a lot of it.
