It's been quite awhile since we have posted anything here - we have been relying on our Facebook page to keep everyone up to date on our chili adventures. Since today is National Chili Day we thought we would update this page as there has also been a flurry of interest recently due to a new venture, which we'll tell you about below!
Since our last post we have been to both the 2014 Las Vegas and 2015 Reno World Championships, where we had a blast. Vegas was especially exciting as our booth was recognized on the World Stage all 3 days of competition, with two 2nd places and a 3rd place! Michael also placed in the Top Ten on Last Chance Friday - allowing him to cook Red Chili on Sunday. This meant he submitted in all 3 categories - salsa, chili verde, and red chili, so a busy World's for us!
2nd place booth win - Red Chili Sunday in Vegas
All 3 from our house made the Final 10 on Friday Last Chance Day!
Last summer Michael won the New England Regional Chili Cook-off in Somers, CT (the largest competition in the East) to secure his golden ticket to Reno. He also qualified in Salsa at our last cookoff of the year - the always exciting "Zombie" cookoff.
Here's the link to our pictures from Reno:

Our other exciting news is that along with cooking at competitions, we have now begun selling our Chili and Salsa at the local Fredericton Cultural Market. We've been there for 4 weeks now and each week more and more people are loving the chili! We prepare Red, Green and a White Chicken chili (all with beans!) along with Salsa. We set up each Saturday from 9 to 4 - which makes for a long day, but a lot of fun and a lot of happy customers!
You can now also find us on twitter @ https://twitter.com/fb_chili so please make sure to come follow us there as well!
From the official ICS website - here is a list of wins since we officially started competing in 2013:
That's all for now. Next up we will be defending our Red Chili title at the 2016 New England Regional Chili Cook-off in Somers, CT on April 30th.
Until then...Chili out!!
