Alright, there's a thread on N4W about hot sc, and one about Chili (two of my favorite things ) and I got to thinking ( stand back), why not have a chili cook-off? The weather's cooling off and we can not only introduce NOOBS to AZXC (4 and 2 wheel drive ), but party down wtih SWANKy too if they'll participate. This won't be a traditional meat/seasoning type cookoff, anything goes here; beans, tomatoes, peppers & onions, whatever? Maybe a saturday afternoon in a park somewhere as a show-n-shine/cookoff/grip-n-grin thing? Anyone down with it?

Sounds like fun. Only actually made Chili once tho and went a little to hot with it. Tasted awesome tho.

Mmmm, chili... Keep us informed.

Dam, I wish you guys were closer to me

Chilli, buds and brew... can't beat it !!!

Good idea Dan

Admittedly, I love chili, but am not good at cooking it....will be happy to sampe others endeavors.

Ty,
You could always bring the beer...

So when is this thing?

With enough notice, there could be some SWANKy's involved. Who's got a monster back yard?

No back yards .. I was thinking more of a park somewhere, maybe Mingus Mtn, or even something in central Phx (unless of course yall'd never seen Lake Surprise and our beautiful park and rec center ). I figured before Xmas will be a nice time; a little chilly, a little chili, a nice afternoon just gettin' along. More to come..

I'd prefer something more central, than out in Surprise(ed you made it out here from Mesa on a single tank of gas).

Yeah, the Surprise thing was a joke :rolleyes: ... I too thought something more central would be better, perhaps Squaw Peak park or Dreamy Draw park. Don't be in such a hurry either, I'm sure no one's chomping at the bit to taste Chili ala Cambridge Ever read "The great Chefs of England? Great book, it's about 3 pages...
