Today was Zazzle’s first Annual Chili Cook-Off! 11 Zazzlers entered their wonderful chili recipes, from spicy to savory, in a contest for prizes and to share their secret creations with the entire office. The contest was judged by a panel of four AWESOME judges (yes I happened to be a judge) that chose their winner based on flavor, aroma, and creativity. It was hard to judge, but in the end, Zazzler Eric won with his exceptional green chili. Eric described it as a, “…New Mexico Chile Verde made with organically grown pork shoulder and hatch chilies from a small farm in NM.” For winning first prize Eric received a trophy that is, um… very unique. I’ll let you guys guess what the trophy is in the comments. See below for pictures.
