Notable Participants

Chili Cook-off

1st Place – Claire Sanders, Talent Coordinator

“For our cook-off this year, I made a vegetarian chili—based on a recipe my mom always used when I was growing up. When I was in college, I started making chili because it was an easy place to start; over the years, I’ve modified and added to her recipe, introducing new herbs and roasting the veggies. Chili has become a casual passion of mine!”

2nd Place – Glen Richardson, Customer Support Engineer

“The chili that I entered this year was a turkey chili, mild with a little kick. Modifications to the recipe are from my daughters. The vegetables are seasoned just as much as the turkey meat. Two types of beans are used. Chili has always been considered a hearty comfort food that can be slightly adjusted depending up the occasion for which it is made. I prefer my chili with crackers or cornbread.”

3rd Place – Debbie Regan, Senior Project Manager

“This recipe came from someone I worked with at Cracker Barrel. His name was Benton Van Winkle but everyone called him Rip Van Winkle.”
