BajaRob & Bajaponderosa & Jim Smith done it again.
Peoples Choice Award and 2nd Place at the 9th Annual Club De Pesca Chili Cookoff in San Felipe Baja.
We have won the Peoples Choice for 3 Years in a row. But alas we are hanging up our Trophies and taking a few years off. Thanks Rob and Jim it has been fun.

How can an entry be the "People's Choice" and not get first place? Are the judges bought and paid for?
Jes don' seem right to me.

Amen

DENNIS, And thank you! We did receive First Place and People's Choice last year.

In case you were wondering who BajaRob was in the photos:




It's the guy who likes to get his hands on some Tecate Lite!
:lol::cool:

All of the chili was consumed but I still have a Tecate for you. I am about 50 houses north of Chuck's place. Do drop in.

I thought you said the Chili Cook-Off was history?

i did not see any cargo shorts, tie-dies or hawaiiaan shirts in those pics.
i preferred the fashionistas at the mulege cook off!
(the tecate girls were a nice touch!)

Sorry DENNIS, I should have said that the 2011 Chili Cook Off was history. It will be held next on the first Saturday in May of 2012.

bajamigo - 5-9-2011 at 04:38 PM

Felicidades, Rob. We really wish we could have been there. Next year for sure!

Bajahowodd - 5-9-2011 at 05:39 PM

Since when is chili Mexican? They have chili cook-offs from Terlingua to Paducah. But, it's not Mexican.

How odd indeed

BajaRob - 5-9-2011 at 05:53 PM

Have you never heard of Chili Colorado con Carne? It is very Mexican and similar to our recipe. But hey, we never claimed that we were cooking Mexican food, just chili. Got anything positive to contribute???
