And the chili-off winner is ...
The 2008 State and Local Policy Program Chili-Off winner is Jim Grothaus of the Center for Transportation Studies, with his Marshall County Chili. Here is Jim's description of his "Top Notch Polka Chili":
Standard Midwestern chili with traditional ingredients. Originated in Brookings, South Dakota, in a collaborative effort by the Grothaus family.
Tied for second place were Michael Kelly of Humphrey Center Facilities Management, with his Koochiching County Chili, and Mark Lynch, a first year MURP student, with his Beltrami County Chili. This is Michael's second year in a row in second place with his "Black Bean/Alfredo Chili." He vows to be back next year to win the belt. Mark refers to his Beltrami County Chili as a "mean chili entry," which he calls "Overnight Chili."
Holding up the honor of SLPP staff in third place was Frank Douma with his Goodhue County Chili, which he calls "Crock Pot Chili."
Thanks to everyone who made and tasted chilis at the annual SLPP Chili Off. The 12th Annual Chili Off is scheduled next Presidents' Day, February 16, 2009.

I challenge the legitimacy of the results!
The chili's down my end of the table weren't provided with plug-ins for our crock pots! How can I compete with a lukewarm chili?
I call foul! We need Chili Reform!

Oh, and why isn't there a best cornbread competition? That would guarantee more and better cornbread, I bet!
