New England Regional

The New England Regional Chili Cookoff is May 2, 2009 in a beautiful country setting in Connecticut.

We're very happy to once again have Steve Falkowski (WCCC 97 Red Champion) as our chief judge and Audrey Falkowski as our chief score keeper.

We'll have food for the cooks in the morning as well as some of the best blues music you've ever heard all day. We've got DEFCON, the official hot sauce of the NJ Devils doing their "Death Match Hot Wing Eating contest"! We don't want to leave out the kids so we'll also have all kinds of fun stuff for your kids to do! Speaking of kids...we'll have the "Jim Heywood Youth Division" for your kids (or grandkids) to enter to win prize money and to carry on the tradition of cooking chili and having fun with your friends!

We hope to see you May 2,2009.
