What an epic showdown it was at the Tornado Technologies Chili Cookoff on October 6th! We hope you’ve had a chance to recover from the chili-induced heatwave because it’s time for a sizzling recap of this fiery event.

3rd Times a Charm Chili Recipe Takes the Crown!
In a nail-biting showdown that had our taste buds on the edge of their seats, it was Gary Cerasi from The 50 Dollar Connector who orchestrated an unforgettable victory with his “3rd Times a Charm” chili recipe! Considering Gary’s second place standing in the previous years, this year he pulled out all the stops, and his secret weapon? A Secret Sweet Ingredient! A bold move that paid off handsomely, as Gary claimed the Golden Crock with his innovative concoction. Hats off to Gary for his incredible achievement! A close second was Thanksgiving Chili made by Brad Scott with The Scott Group.
Rounding out the top finishers were Blood Feast by Billy Campbell with Aurora City Schools, Toasted Cheese Chipotle by Jeremy Loveridge with Tornado Technologies, and Chili Dawgs by Martin King with GAPP Marketing.

Together, we rallied and raised an astounding $2500 in support of Habitat for Humanity, surpassing our initial goal of $2000. Thanks to each and every one of you for your generous contributions. Our panel of judges had the toughest job in town, savoring each chili to make the ultimate decision. Kudos to our judges for their discerning taste and determination.
This year’s cookoff had our largest turnout!
