Chili Contest

Notes from an inexperienced Seattle chili taster named Frank who was visiting Texas:

"Recently I was honored to be selected as an Outstanding Famous

Celebrity in Texas, to be a judge at a chili cook-off because no one

else wanted to do it. Also the original person called in sick at the

last minute and I happened to be standing there at the judges' table

asking directions to the beer wagon when the call came in. I was assured

by the other two judges (native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all

that spicy, and besides they told me I could have free beer during the

tasting, so I accepted." Here are the score cards from the event:

Chili #1: Mike's Maniac Mobster Chili

JUDGE ONE: A little to heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.

JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.

FRANK: Holy smokes, what is this stuff? You could remove dried paint

from your driveway with it. Took me two beers to put the flames out.

Hope that's the worst one. These hicks are crazy. :blink:

Chili #2: Arthur's Afterburner Chili

JUDGE ONE: Smoky (barbecue?) with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.

JUDGE TWO: Exciting barbecue flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.

FRANK: Keep this out of reach of children! I'm not sure what

I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who

wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver while I shoved my way to the

front of the beer line.

Chili #3: Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili

JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick! Needs more beans.

JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of red peppers.

FRANK: This has got to be a joke! Call the EPA, I've located a

!?#@%~#@*_#! uranium spill! :nuke: My nose feels like I have been sneezing

Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now and got out of my way so I

could make it to the beer wagon. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my

backbone is in the front part of my chest.

Chili #4: Bubba's Black Magic

JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.

JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or

other mild foods, not much of a chili.

FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to

taste it. :bad: Sally, the bar maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills

so that I wouldn't have to dash over to see her.

Chili #5: Linda's Legal Lip Remover

JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground adding

considerable kick. Very impressive.

JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit

the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.

FRANK: My ears are ringing and I can no longer focus my eyes. I belched

and four people in front of me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed

hurt when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally

saved my tongue by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher. Sort of

irritates me that one of the other judges asked me to stop screaming.

Chili #6: Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety

JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice

and peppers.

JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic.

Superb.

FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous

flames. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except Sally.

Chili #7: Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili

JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.

JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef threw in canned chili peppers

at the last moment. I should note that I am worried about judge #3, he

appears to be in a bit of distress.

FRANK: You could put a hand grenade in my mouth and pull the pin and I

wouldn't feel it. I've lost sight in one eye and the world sounds like

it is made of rushing water. My clothes are covered with chili which

slid unnoticed out of my mouth at some point. Good, at autopsy they'll

know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful

and I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air I'll let it in

through the hole in my stomach.

Chili #8: Helen's Mount Saint Chili

JUDGE ONE: This final entry is a good, balanced chili, neither mild nor

hot. Sorry to see most of it was lost when Judge number 3 fell and

pulled most of the pot on top of himself.

JUDGE TWO: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili, safe for all,

not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
