Chili Cook-Off 2008

Last week was the annual Quad Graphics Chili Cook-Off in the Minneapolis office. I've been so busy, I have not had a chance to write about it. This was my third year entering. You may recall I won my first year and finished fourth last year. This year we had 10 chili's in the competition and more customer guests than we've had for years. The chili's were all good. Any one of them would have been enjoyable on a cold winter day. The entire office plus all the guests each cast a ballot for their 1st, 2nd and 3rd place choices. The scoring was pretty even. Every entry scored some points, a testament to the overall quality of the field. When all was calculated, I had 25 points, putting me in third place. 2nd place went to Ron Hoeschen from Photo who had 26 points and 1st went to Randy Rudolph from Northern Tool who had 28 points. Even though I didn't win, I was still happy with a podium finish and the $20 third place prize! I'll get 'em next year!
