- Note: Please take time to read this slowly.If you pay attention to the first two judges,
- the reaction of the third judge is even better.
- For those of you who have lived in New Mexico, you know how true
- this is. They actually have a Chili Cook-off about the time Halloween
- comes around. It takes up a major portion of a parking lot at the Santa
- Fe Plaza. Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chile taster named Frank, who
- was visiting from Springfield, IL .
- Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a
- chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment
- and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table, asking for
- directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call came in. I was
- assured by the other two judges (Native New Mexicans) that the chili
- wouldn't be all that spicy; and, besides, they told me I could have free
- beer during the tasting, so I accepted and became Judge #3."
- Here are the scorecard notes from the event:
- CHILI # 1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI
- Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
- Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
- Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy crap, what the hell is this stuff? You
- could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put
- the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These New Mexicans are crazy.
- CHILI # 2 -- EL RANCHO'S AFTERBURNER CHILI
- Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
- Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
- Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not
- sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two
- people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in
- more beer when they saw the look on my face.
- CHILI # 3 -= ALFREDO'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI
- Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick.
- Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of peppers.
- Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My
- nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine
- by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the
- back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting
- sh*t-faced from all of the beer.
- CHILI # 4 -- BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC
- Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
- Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish
- for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
- Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was
- unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the
- beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. This 300 lb.
- Woman is starting to look HOT ... Just like this nuclear waste I'm
- eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac?
- CHILI # 5 - LISA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER
- Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Jalapeno peppers freshly
- ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
- Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato.
- Must admit the jalapeno peppers make a strong statement.
- Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my
- forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted, and four people
- behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told
- her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue
- from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder
- if I'm burning my lips off. It really ticks me off that the other
- judges asked me to stop screaming.
- CHILI # 6 -- VARGA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY
- Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers.
- Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, garlic. Superb.
- Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with
- gaseous, sulfuric flames. I crapped on myself when I farted, and I'm
- worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand
- behind me except that Sally. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to
- wipe my butt with a snow cone.
- CHILI # 7 -- SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI
- Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
- Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a
- can of chili peppers at the last moment.
- **I should take note that I am worried about Judge #3. He appears to be
- in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
- Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin,
- and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world
- sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with
- chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava
- to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what
- killed me. I've decided to stop breathing. It's too painful. Screw
- it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it
- in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.
- CHILI # 8 -- BIG TOM'S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI
- Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili.
- Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
- Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili.
- Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge
- #3 farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of
- himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor fella, wonder how
- he'd have reacted to really hot chili?
- Judge # 3 -- No report.
