Last Friday, I won the 5th Annual Celebrity Chili Cook-Off, hosted by the Denver Press Club, and benefitting the Women’s Bean Project. It was a sweet and spicy victory for a guy who’s been making red chili for a dozen years with little recognition.

Don’t cry bitter tears if you chili has never won a cook-off, though. Tears don’t taste good mixed with peppers anyway.
