Lew Wheeling and I competed for the second time at the CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International) World Championship Chili Cook-off this past Saturday, in Terlingua Texas. I made it to the quarter-finals and Lew made it to the semi-finals. There were over 300 cooks and even to compete you must qualify by placing in the top 10. Needless to say we are pleased by the results. If anyone wants to take a look at our recipes or has an interest in cooking in a CASI sanctioned event please contact me off list. CASI is a charitable organization that hold chili cook-offs all over the country. Also, it was recently announced that our Best Batch Chili Mix has won it's third Scovie Award in a row. This time we finished second. Warm Wishes, Chip Welsh Red Lion Spicy Foods Company 420 West Broadway Red Lion, PA 17356 717-244-0227 phone 717-244-7348 fax www.betterthanhot.com chip@betterthanhot.com
