New chili business

.

You can find it at http://www.bigbunnychili.com/ . I've personally been cooking competitively in ICS for right about 22 years now and have been to the world several times (once finished 8th). We have both won several state championships at regionals, etc. Anyway, we've spent 3 years developing this unique chili spice blend and we use it exclusively in our competition appearances. We have a purveyor prepare the blend in Texas and do the basic thermo seal packaging for us, then we label and sell it. So far, we've found that it is popular and sells itself once tried.

Hope you find the product and site to be fun. We do. Good luck with the site. I know most competition chili cooks reference it often.

Thanks again for any consideration for a link on your site/blog.

With warmest Chili Regards,

Rose & Brian Warmuth
