event NERCC Chili Cookoff 2011, Saturday, May 7

Well, it's that time of year again, when we pack up the Urban Assualt Vehicle, and head north to the lands of Connecticut to join in the fun at the New England Region Chili Cookoff. This event is the biggest ICS sanctioned chili cook off in New England, and the turnout gets bigger every year. This event is the biggest ICS sanctioned chili cook off in New England! Proceeds benefit the Somers (CT) FD and Patriot Guard CT.

As usual, we'll be setting up our kitchen with a few turkey fryers, so as to feed the masses, and engage their gastrointestinal tracts to a Wing-Eating Deathmatch if they are foolish enough.

Here are some of the particulars:

Where : Pleasant View, 452 South Rd., Somers, CT

Chili cooks and vendors can arrive 7 - 9 a.m. only.

Public 11 a.m. until approx.4:30 p.m.

Hot pepper eating contest, great music, fantastic vendors, outstanding food, DEFCON Death Match hot wing eating contest, a few surprises and the BEST chili!

Loadin' up the Defcon Urban Assault vehicle for yet another surgical strike. Lookin' forward to hangin' with Mad Mike and the many chili cooks tonight at Chicago Sams, for a few libations before the Battle of The Red & Green tomorrow.
 
Well, rolled in just after 5am this morning (left early because I HATE traffic. Anyway, a great time was had by all. With the exception of a 15-minute cloudburst (when we cranked up "Singin' in the rain" in the booth), the weather was perfect. With tons of chili cooks, the surrounding air was heavenly, not to mention my 'kitchen' fryin' up endless wings. We had a nice little Deathmatch, where almost 9 out of 15 left the table in the first minute or two, and icy cold beer flowed regularly. Life is good.

Looking forward to it again next year.
