RED APRON CHILI COOKOFF RESULTS
ICS history was made when the International Chili Society sanctioned Bluffton Red Apron Chili Cook Off became a Regional on Saturday.
This enabled all winners to advance to the WCCC in Charleston,WV.
This event was one of the first to offer Home Style as well - although not enough to make that a qualifier .
The Bluffton Self Help group rolled out the red carpet for ICS cooks on Friday night with a tremendous welcome party.
I was honored to have Vickie Marnick as score keeper and with the help of Jim Bright, the SC State Chairman, the judging area ran very smoothly.
The results:
Home style:
First place Thomas Forrel (only 5 competed)
Salsa: 10 cooks
1st Place Scott Bishop
2nd Place Jan Sprouse
3rd Place Sally Kerr-Dineen
Chili Verde: 11 cooks
1st Place Don Smith
2nd Place Mark Tolar
3rd Place Jan Sprouse Weltikol
Red Chili: 20 cooks
1st Place: Jan Sprouse Weltikol
2nd Place Justin Flood
3rd Place Ray Frederick
