Freedom Haters Voted #1 Chili*



Saturday was the Second Annual Left Feet Vegan Chili Cook Off. There were 18 chilis in total. But only one winner. Spark, Matt, and I reserved one night a week for the last four to perfect our recipe. There were a lot of arguments, a lot of messes, some full tummies, and even a few tears. All the hard work paid off, however. We may not have won the official contest (though we definitely should have), we did make an amazing chili. It was thick. It was roasted. It had Sweet Potato. It was hearty. And most importantly it was delicious. High five to everyone who cooked, came, tasted, and voted. $1600 was raised for the Out In The Cold organization. Well done to Steve at Left Feet and everyone else who help make the day a success.




* Voted #1 best chili amongst Freedom Hater Bicycle Club members.

I'm very happy with our Chili and still a little bitter about a Curried Lentil Soup taking 3rd but I'll live.

I think I'd have been way less stressed if that god damned crockpot hadn't performed so badly, sorry for taking it out on you, lil buddy.

I look awesome in that photo.

FHBC Smoothie comp - we'll have our equipment dialed in and there will be no competition with our former professional smoothie chef on board.
