ok, you have another contestant....It looked like a fun event but at first I wanted to watch, but with only 3 people you were about to not have an event. So I wanted to help and I look forward to rewarding you all with excellent chili. yum-yum.

 

Welcome. I just know you will have fun. After all, "fun" is what it's all
about.

 

glad we are getting more contestants. The prize baskets will have over $100 of chef/MINI goodies in each of them, so I hope you guys are ready to cook some yummy Chili!

Amanda

 

That's the plan!
I'm gonna cook up some Good Eatin' Chili rather than the less enjoyable competition variety. Winning is the goal, but not the object It's gonna be a great time for all

 

I signed up as a contestant too. I think the real reward is just to see folks enjoy the different kinds of chili that we come up with and just have fun with the experience. It's all good!

 

Just a bump to keep this on the first page

 

Thanks, Jen.

 

only 3 more days to sign up!
Amanda

 

Yeah!

Am so excited to be able to help with the cookoff.

Being an Atlanta MINIs member has plenty o' perks.

Rebecca

 

I'm in as a chef.

Thanks Pete.

 

YAY! that's AWESOME Jbobp!
Amanda

 

C'mon people, there is still room for TEN MORE CHEFS!!!

 

OK, fighting my "Cuban time" urge, I signed up for this BEFORE the deadline - so at least there will be 7 of us "competing". Now, it was difficult for me to adjust my recipe UP, especially when I'm not sure how "servings" relates to "gallons" - so, hopefully I didn't grossly overestimate the amount the ingredients I'll need (or underestimate for that matter!).

Wow, look at all those "quotes".

 

Yay!

(and a bump to keep it on the top of the stack )

 

Make mo chilli!

BTW, Chilli is my favorite color.

Rebecca

 

looks like this is turning into quite the competition! AWESOME!

 

I have a question about the "heat source" we need to bring... does it need to be self contained (i.e. fire or propane or whatever) or will there be outlets for, say, an electric type heat source? Fire + Cathy = risky business.

 

Gotta love an honest woman!

Rebecca

 

Ok, now that registration is closed you've got a few days for trash talk! Looking forward to tasting what you all come up with.

Yes, I said 'you all' not yall -- Forgive me, I'm a yankee.

 

You're forgiven!!!

Do you Yankees have a favorite chilli??
If so what would that be?

Rebecca

 

You're right about that Rebecca! I can't wait to see what our contestants come up with. And remember to bring some antacids...

 

I got a look at the prizes for the Judges' Choice and People's Choice winners
last night. All I can say is .

 

wat time should the attendees attend?? do we get the ticket which already paid at the Tapoco at the same time?

 

Contestants should be there at 3:30. The chili cooking starts at 4PM.

Those coming for dinner should come around 6 or a little earlier if you want. We will start serving dinner around 6:30.

We will have check-in for dinner starting around 6.
