Hey Everyone,
*phew* where to start. I guess first off thanks to all of you that came down to the Mucky Pup and helped make the Cook-Off such an awesome, special event. Also massive props to the chilli cooks who put so much time and effort into their chillies. Every chilli was absolutely delicious and who knew how different 2 chillies could be. However when it came down to it, the Tipped crowd voted Helen's "El Paso Heart Attack" the best of the day. She can deservedly carry the title of Chilli Champion until the next time. If you don't know Helen she writes an awesome blog called Food Stories which you should check out. Second prize went to Madison whose daughter Kaya kicked off the piñata proceedings with a sterling effort against the giant chilli. And third prize went to Joel and Henry's 'Chilli Me Breathless'. Anyway it’s not always the winning, but the taking part that counts, so thanks to Mark, Madison, Chris, Joel, Kenny and Austin.
And special thanks have to go to Kenny & Angus of the Mucky Pup, Gill AKA the Chilli Wizard, the guys from Mucho Mas for supplying us with chips, salsa and guac, Aromy for making the awesome crochet chillies, and Sarah Palin for being the muse for our pinata - I haven't laughed so hard in forever. Also thanks again to Chris for not only cooking an amazing chilli, but also taking some really great photos, and you can check out our photos here. Oh and if you haven’t had enough, then watch the videos of the piñata getting bashed and burnt.
Before we go, some dates for the diary: Better Know a Borough Greenwich, Saturday 13th November; and the Tipped 'We're still coming up with a name' party, Saturday December 15th.See you soon!
