LOS GORDOS ANNUAL CHILI COOK-OFF, AUG 16 2008
SAVE THE DATE! Saturday, August 16, 2008 will be the date you'll want to head for La Bufadora and participate by cooking or tasting (or both) in the
13th Annual “Anything Goes” Chili Cook-Off sponsored by Los Gordos Restaurant. So start gathering your teams and testing your recipes! (HEY, HOW
ABOUT A NOMAD TEAM?)
In addition to the chili cook-off there will be a Salsa Contest (the food, not the dance – well, maybe there’ll be some dancing later in the day  .) There will be cash prizes for the best chili, best salsa and best booth.
Spectators can sample all the chili and salsas entered for just $1 (spoons and bowls provided). Tickets for a drawing may also be purchased, 6 tickets
for $5. Tasting and judging starts at 3:00 but come early and stay late!
CHILI RULES: $10 entry fee per chili (you can enter as many recipes as you’d like), must provide all of your own supplies, food, tables and utensils
for cooking. And a 5 star recommendation from those of us who competed last year as novices – BRING YOUR OWN SHADE if you'll be competing in the
chili cook-off! All cooking must be done on the premises outside. Beans may be pre-soaked, other items may be pre-chopped. Canned goods may be used
but not opened before the official 12:00 noon start time. Plan to make at least 4 quarts of chili (250 samples). ANYTHING GOES. International chili
cook-off rules do not apply!
SALSA RULES: $7 entry fee per salsa. There are two categories
of salsa, hot and regular. Salsa may be pre-made and bring 2 pints to the cook-off.
No need to pre-enter for either – just come and have a good time. For more info (not that there is more), contact Bajamigo or Bajabound2005.
Did I mention we won last year's cook-off? Along with that claim to fame came the honor of coordinating this year's cook-off. Hope to see you there!

Yep. This cook-off is for anybody and everybody. You can even pour it out of the Hormel can, heat it and present it. Who knows? That may be a
winner. I was told that's what got the blew ribbon last year.
