So this week is Employee Recognition Week at St. John’s and yesterday we had the Chili Cookoff.  I tasted all seven entries and they were each gourmet and at the same time unique.  And unlike other Chili Cookoffs I have been to, they featured ingredients indigenous to the area, buffalo, elk, and pheasant.  Vegetarian, Chili Verde, Habanero, and Steak rounded out the other four.  I am glad I wasn’t a judge because I don’t think I could have picked the best.  Results will be revealed on Friday.  Yum!!!
