Charles, I do the local CASI qualifing cookoff here in the Virgin Islands and have for a few years now. Last year we had 2 teams one of which took first place. I didn't goto Terlingua but we are already looking forward to the cookoff again this year. We always have a blast doing it and the money goes to some good causes.
