A NEWBIE and the ORIGINAL CHAMP win!

Min Love – Chili Champ & People’s Choice Winner

 

Wow what a day!  A Record NINETEEN chefs lit up the night and competed in this year’s 15th Annual Oliver’s Groundhog Day Chili Cookoff.

Once the smoke cleared, newbie Chef Min Love had the Chili Champ trophy AND the People’s Choice Award in her spicy little hands.

Congrats go out to the first ever Champ, Pete Atkinson, for dazzling the judges with his sexy chili presentation to claim Best in Show.
