FRIDAY - May 22, 2009

Sacramento Regional Chili Cookoff May 16, 2009

.

What a day! The sun was shining, light breeze and the smell of chili cooking was in the air. What more could you ask for? How about a great chili cookoff? The beer garden, the kids area, the pony rides, the food, the pancake breakfast, dancing girls, a DJ that played great music all day and two ex World Champions, Margo and JR Knudson.

A big thank you to all the judges for giving up part of their day to judge all the chili's. Sacramento City Council member Steve Cohn judged the ICS red and was very impressed. How about that! Skip and Dione Cooley they came all the way from Reno, NV, and Steve and Lynn Boldenweck came all the way from San Francisco, CA to help in the judging area. Thank you guys very much. David Hipskind was the Chief Judge for the day. Thank you David.

The Kiwanis Club of East Sacramento-Midtown hosted this event. We started working on the event in November. It was great to see all the hard work turn into a successful event. Thank you, to all the Cookoff Chairman for all your hard work. One more .............. Thank You to all the chili cooks, without you we couldn't do this.

OK now the winners.

Tustin Regional Chili Cookoff

.

We are getting very close to the June 7th date for the Tustin Chili Cookoff. As many of you know, Bill and I were Chief Judge and Chief Scorekeeper of this event last year and will be again on June 7th. This is a good cookoff. Yes, they have a huge public, wanting to taste chili. So do lots of other cookoffs. There is no monetary entry fee, so they can only "require" that you bring two gallons of People's Choice chili as your entry fee. They humbly ask that you bring whatever you think is fair to provide chili for the public to taste. They have many local teams who provide gallons and gallons of chili for the public, and these teams are rewarded with the "bragging rights" of becoming the annual People's Choice Champion.

.

We cooked in this cookoff once. We would probably have cooked a second time, but we were drafted to help them in a different capacity. We were able to park close to our cooking space (we arrived early), we handed out a reasonable amout of People's Choice Chili (5 or 6 gallons, I think), and finished third in the cookoff. Many people you know have won this cookoff or placed. Ask Dennis Macklin or Boris Kiena how they like the event! Ask last year's winner, Darlene Taylor! It is a very well-organized event worthy of your attention.

.

This is their 25th Anniversary cookoff. They would like to have a good showing of "regular" ICS cooks to help them celebrate the occasion. Please come out and help us (and the City of Tustin) make this the great cookoff that it deserves to be. To help celebrate their Anniversary, they have added prize money for the ICS portion of the cookoff---$500 for 1st Place, $300 for 2nd and $200 for 3rd!

.

If you have already qualified for the World's Championship and can not cook, please come and help us judge. "Celebrity" judges will be limited this year, so we need your help. As a judge you will receive good food and a nice "Thank You" gift from the organizers. The tote bag that contains the gift is very unique and worth your time!

.

If you want to cook, please sign up on the ICS web site, or contact the folks listed there. They will make every effort to accomodate your needs regarding arrival times, cooking space, etc. If you have already qualified for the World's Championship (congratulations!) please come out and help with the judging. If you can judge, please RSVP to Chiliray94@sbcglobal.net, so we can be sure that there are plenty of "goodies" available for you.

.

Remember Inland Empire Regional on May 23rd, then we'll hope to see you on June 7th. Thanks for all of your support.

THURSDAY - May 21, 2009

Inland Empire Regional Chili Cookoff

Thanks to the cooks who have sent their entries online or told us in person that they'll be cooking. Nothing has changed for this event from the previous years. As always, the Health Department folks will make their presence known. They have been out in force at every cookoff we have attended in Southern California this year. They will expect to see handwashing stations. They have requested that you bring extra utensils for serving your chili to the public. If they require screen sides (and they probably will) the Arlington Business Partnership will furnish them to you for the day. Please remember to tell the Health Department people that you are serving canned chili, or that it was prepared offsite in a commercial kitchen (you have a friend who has a restaurant, you used the kitchen at your church or Elks Lodge, etc.).

.

This year there are at least ten Community Cooks/Celebrity Cooks/Restaurant Cooks. Please do not begin serving your People's Choice Chili until 11:00. As always, there is a prize of $250.00 for the winning ICS People's Choice contestant.

.

We look forward to seeing you at our 7th Annual Inland Empire Regional Cookoff on Saturday.

South Side Shuffle

District Cookoff

Taylorville, IL.

May 17, 2009

.

The South Side Bar & Grill was the setting for the first annual chili cookoff, presented by "Aldo" Klinghammer.

"Aldo" had selected the Christian County Senior Citizens has the Charity for the event. Several hundreds of dollars was raised for this event.

The cookoff was held behind "Aldo's" South Side Shuffle Bar & Grill on about 3 acres of grass and shade. This was a very nice and relaxing set up following the Prairie Trail Regional on Sat. in Pana, IL.

Weather turned out to be very nice with light wind, sunny and 68 degrees.

All of the cooks were treated to FREE biscuits, gravy, sausage, and fried potatoes on arrival.

Everyone claimed that this was a very fun, relaxing, nice cookoff. ALL said they would be back next year.

Since "Aldo" did get 21 chili cooks for his first District, this will become a Regional for 2010.

Mark your calendars for this extremely fun event.

Wild Wild West Fest/Chili Ole' Regional

and

Southern Colorado Regional Results

.

As part of the Wild Wild West Fest activities for the weekend, two Regional cookoffs were held in downtown Pueblo, Colorado, May 16th, and May 17th. With the support of all the sponsors, these cookoffs went off without a hitch. The Chamber of Commerce, and the Professional Bull Riders Association (PBR) want us back next year.

Saturday's weather started off cold and cloudy, and by mid day, the sun finally came out, warmed things up, and brought the crowds out. John Elway, the PBR parade Grand Marshall, never did get around to the Saturday's cookoff, as we hoped he would, to be one of our "celebrity judges". Sunday's weather started off warm, no clouds, and got even hotter.

Thanks again to all the sponsors, George Lott for putting these cookoffs together, his two sisters, Patty and Susan, who were "doing" everything asked of them, Jim Burns for showing up to judge and announce, Al Henry (Current World Salsa Champion), and my wife, Kathy Plager for scorekeeping, wrangling, and keeping things going on time, and all the great judges that we had for both days.

.

Inland Empire Regional

Helllllo, Chili Cooks! Anybody out there? Inland Empire Regional Chili Cookoff is just one week away, and we really need to know that you're planning to compete. If you've overlooked sending in your online entry, please get it to us soon.

.

This will be the 7th year for this great event. If you've been here, you know that there's a huge public. The Arlington Business Partnership tries very hard to take the People's Choice pressure off of the ICS cooks by having as many contestants as possible in the Community Cooks division. And to make it worth your while, there is a nice prize of $250 for the winner of the ICS People's Choice contest. The Community Cooks have their own prizes, so you're not competing against the locals, just against the other ICS cooks.

.

Overall the cookoff offers more than $3,500 in prize money to the ICS cooks, including $100 for the Best First-Time ICS Cook. If you've been thinking about jumping in to the competition, here's your chance to show your stuff! We sure hope you'll join us next Saturday, May 23rd, for Riverside's Inland Empire Regional Chili Cookoff. We promise good weather and a great event. Chief Judge Steve Porter promises properly-officiated contests. We look forward to seeing you.

.

South Florida Back-to-Back Regional Cookoffs

.

Although there have already been a couple of postings on the two Acreage Music and Chili Festival Regional Cookoffs, and the results are out there, I wanted to add my two cents.

.

Guys and Gals: we have TWO NEW OUTSTANDING ICS COOKOFFS! I say that after 28+ years as a member of ICS…on both sides of the stove.

.

To start, the cookoffs epitomized the principle of "Take Care of the Cooks". To list but a few examples:

.

It all started with the organizers arranging for a special rate at a Headquarters Hotel. A very nice and recently renovated Marriott Courtyard, easily accessible from the Interstate and centrally located to both the party and the cookoff.

.

An outstanding party Friday night. Free beer (which continued flowing at the bar after they had to remove the keg from the dance floor, in order to accommodate dancers once the band started); delicious food, to include some of the best Buffalo Wings Marshall and I have had; reserved tables at the edge of the dance floor; terrific live band; an "impromptu" dance demo by the "Chili Chicks" – a great fun evening.

.

A beautiful cookoff location. "Perhaps a bit remote" according to Dick Steinert's posted comment (I would prefer the term "rural suburban"; "remote" I associate with Tropico in the early 80's, before housing developments arrived a few blocks away); however, it was an easy 25 minute drive from the hotel, there was a Publix supermarket nearby for last minute stuff…plus negligible traffic at the cooks' travel times.

.

Superb "cook logistics" to include: reserved nearby paved parking; easy set-up; overnight security, so no tear down required if doing both days; tear down assistance, to include staff volunteers with golf carts since the events continued past the natural end of the chili portion, with the crowd remaining for additional entertainment; a large tent to accommodate all the cooks that did not chose to bring their own tent. I could go on; believe me, all first class and professional.

.

The cookoff was also privileged to have Dionne and Skip Cooley come from Reno and judge on both days (they already had their "Hat Trick"). Not only do the results reflect this expertise, but I received a ton of highly positive feedback from the cooks.

Multiple comments about how much they had appreciated and learned from the feedback on their chilis & salsa, which they had received from Dionne and Skip. If you think about it, how often do you get two active Red Grand Masters (22 & 20), Verde Masters (and soon to be among the first inductees into Verde Grand Masters), plus a former World Salsa Champion, personally critiquing your bowl and making suggestions for improvement.

Dionne, Skip, thanks a million for your invaluable help. We would love to have you cook next year; however, were I to be totally selfish, sure wouldn't mind at all if you're already qualified and can instead join us again as judges.

As to the rest of the story: large and enthusiastic crowds (the events actually made some money; something very rare in this economy…and by what were de-facto "new events" in size and scope); great vendors with excellent food - I had one of the tastiest Greek lamb gyros for lunch (actually two; one each day); terrific live entertainment with name Nashville bands, plus several performances by the Chili Chicks; an incredible amount of stuff for small kids to do – a real "family event" – as well lots of fun stuff for "big kids".

.

Here, I would like to add a special thanks to COSTCO; who not only enthusiastically participated and brought volumes of their Stagg Chili both days, but who also "saved the day" on Saturday.

The size of the crowd was so unexpectedly large, that even with restaurants and a substantial number of People's Choice participants (as well as the non-People's Choice participants who nevertheless also give out chili), the "crowd chili" was running very low by around 4 PM (an hour before awards). At Robert's mention of this problem to COSTCO, they jumped on it and distributed cans of Stagg Chili to other cooks, so they could heat them, "doctor them up" and have more sources of chili for the crowd.

.

Thank you COSTCO and CHRIS RITCHER!

.

I can't say enough good things about Robert Trepp and his staff – to include key players Zori Mickle and Sofia Rossi – on their efforts with the two Acreage Music and Chili Fest Regional Cookoffs. Not only did they leap in and pick up the ball following the unfortunate (and relatively late) demise of Key Largo, but they also produced two superb events in but a few short months time – in what is a massive understatement on my part: "all of us in ICS are incredibly fortunate to have them onboard and involved."

.

Great Job…or as we used to say in the Navy – BRAVO ZULU! By the way, that is the "B" and the "Z" signal flags hoisted together - signal flags are those colorful things which ships hoist up the mast to communicate certain messages - and that message translates to: "Congratulations – Job Well Done!"

.

Finally, some quick notes about next year.

.

To start, (barring the unexpected) there will be the 2010 cookoffs; Robert is already planning on it. The cookoffs will probably be earlier in the year (dates to be announced, lots of hoops still need to be jumped through) and we will work with Vickie to avoid conflicts; both of which were simply not possible for this year.

Although the goal is for earlier, the cookoffs will not return to their historical date – the weekend after the Super Bowl. The reason being that date is (was) just two weeks after the huge (and I mean HUGE) 99.9 KISS COUNTRY CHILI COOKOFF.

.

In Key Largo, that was sort of a non-issue. Not only a mostly different group of cooks, but more important a different geography with a different crowd; in spite of the fact that the cookoffs were not that far apart in distance, the Keys are not only a "different world", but draw from a totally different population for the crowd.

.

Acreage also has mostly different cooks; however, here there would probably be a crowd attendance problem if you have the cookoffs that close together. To paraphrase Robert: "not only do many of the folks from here in Palm Beach County attend the 99.9 KISS COUNTRY COOKOFF (Palm Beach County is just north of Broward County, where the KISS COUNTRY COOKOFF is held); but if we were to have our cookoff that near to the 99.9 one, that event would step all over my advertising"…makes sense, and something that never occurred to me not being a professional promoter.

.

Hopefully, the above plan will meet the needs of our long-time out of state cooks, so you can join us again next year. Trust me, you won't be disappointed…and by the way, Key Largo is only a couple of hours drive away, should you still want to "do the Keys".

.

We'll keep everybody posted,

.

Sergei Kowalchik

Chief Judge
