WEST COAST Responds to Jerry Buma

.

I want to thank all of you East coast cooks for the helpful hints. Having never cooked very much on the East coast I was trying to decide what to cook. now I have a better idea.

No wonder East Coast chili tastes so bad Jerry... You totally forgot to tell everyone about the 3/4 cup of vinegar! Look out, The West is coming.

Be very afraid!

Jerry Buma's "Helpful Hints for West Coast Cooks" is a hoot. Even though I am not from the West Coast, Jerry seemed to have forgotten to mention about using "prunes" on the East Coast. It works on the West Coast, and I for one plan on using them on the East Coast. Here in the mountain state of Colorado, we prefer the Sunsweet brand.

THE WORLD'S CHAMPIONSHIP IS RECEIVING A LOT OF PUBLICITY WHICH WE WELCOME. AS YOU MAY HAVE HEARD, THE LEARNING CHANNEL, HAS BEEN INTERVIEWING ICS COOKS AND JUDGES, BY PHONE, IN PERSON AND BY VIDEO FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS. TLC IS THE NETWORK THAT PRODUCES JON AND KATE PLUS 8, DIRTY JOBS, LIVING SPACES, ETC. THEY HAVE A VIEWING AUDIENCE OF OVER TEN MILLION! THE FILMING OF THE WCCC HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED BY THE NETWORK, BUT I EXPECT TO HEAR FROM THEM EARLY NEXT WEEK. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR GREAT BOOTHS, CHILI "CHARACTERS" AND SHOWMANSHIP. WE'D LIKE TO GIVE THEM FEATURE QUALITY MATERIAL FOR THIS SHOW. THE CREWS WILL FILM LIVE BEFORE AND DURING THE WCCC. LET'S SHOW THEM WHAT CHILIHEADS AND THE WORLD OF CHILI COOKING IS ALL ABOUT.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WILL ALSO BE AT THE COOKOFF DOING INTERVIEWS. LOCAL CHARLESTON RADIO AND TV STATIONS ARE PLANNING LIVE BROADCASTS FROM APPALCHIAN POWER PARK. PUT ON YOUR BEST CHILI PEPPER OUTFIT AND YOUR SMILES!!
