Hello to all.
My name is Vic, but my friends call me chiliman (please feel free to consider yourselves my friends.) I am a hot dog cart vendor here in Charlotte, NC who is in the grip of chili obsession. I began in Oct. 2004 at the "Great Carolina Chili Cook-off" where I won all the awards in the "professional" (It's Proffesional cause you pay more and they give's you money fer winnin) division. It's been a fun and relatively successful run since then. I have a personal trash talking war going on with Bubba (the moderator, and underpants afficionado) for the times when I am able to make the local CASI events. (PS I plan on bustin up the CASI State Championships this year, so watch yer back Bubba!)
I gots me a small yet lovely family consisting of myself, Chili Mom, Little Chili Man and Little Chili Girl.
I look forward to being able to share my obsession with other lof my ilk. I have found over time that, generally, chili folks are good folks. There is just something about cooking this variety of comfort food that attracts nice people.
Have a great day, all, and I look forward to hearing and sharing with everyone. (Even Bubba)
