we have one every year.  
Question.  I always vote for the best tasting chili.

Some people always vote for their own. Even if their chilli is clearly suck ass.




Is "winning" a plastic trophy more important than honesty?

We even have two people who tried to manipulate the arrangement of the bowls so the judges would taste theirs first.




These are the questions that keep me up at night.

When a plastic trophy is at stake, cheating as much as possible seems like the best part of the whole ordeal.

Or so I am told.

Me myself, I would just make the best damn chili, and win it despite all the cheaters.

That's a fast food chain thing (Skyline and Goldstar), popular in Cincinnati - not an Ohio thing. Virtually no one actually makes chili like that at home. Hell, most people that live in this state outside of Cincinnati have never had it.

That's a given (I'm the only one who ever submits an entry without them), but I'm talking about the winning chili at work being made with a white sauce, with no chili peppers present (tha fuck?), and turkey for the protein. The fact that there are beans in it is the least of it's problems. .

Related: Consider my recipe above. There are people on this site that have gone so full retard with the "no beans" thing, that the simple act of neglecting to add the beans would make it a "real" chili to them. This is horseshit, of course.

On the other side of the argument, there are people in my part of the country who insist that the fact I added beans to that concoction, is what made it chili. That's where the "it's meat sauce" shit comes from. Well...yeah. If you start off making it wrong to begin with, I suppose adding beans helps. But it doesn't address the root of the problem.
