01/28/2017 - 3rd Annual NCC Cars & Chili Competition

[webmaster]

Our 3rd Annual NCC Cars & Chili Competition will be another friendly cookoff among club members for the ultimate bragging rights of who can make the best chili. Registration is required for all attendees and the location address (Baltimore, MD area) will be sent out a few days prior to event. Competition will be held from 11am to 2pm.


Did I mention that there's a private kick-ass car collection where this event will be held?

There will be three (3) main categories:
1.Traditional Red - classic red chili sauce, with or without meat; NO beans, pasta, or other filler allowed
2.Homestyle - anything goes! red/green/white chili, with or without meat, beans/pasta/filler are optional
3.Vegetarian - anything goes EXCEPT meat! red/green/white chili. beans/pasta/filler are optional

We have several great prizes lined up for those top recipes based on a judged points system and the following criteria:
1.Appearance - Visually appealing? Bright/colorful or dull/bland? Too oily?
2.Smell - How appetizing is the aroma? Does it make you want to dig right in?
3.Consistency - Meat-to-sauce ratio; Is it too mushy/too thin/too thick? Is the meat tender?
4.Flavor - How flavorful is it from the first bite to any aftertaste? Too spicy/not enough spice? Spices blend well together/overpowering?
5.Creativity - Did the chef use a wide variety of ingredients? How creative did the chef get in recipe creation? Did he/she think outside the box?

Each Chili Chef will be required to complete the official competition template which will include the following:
1.Name of chili - names should be clever and BMW or car related, of course!
2.Heat level/spiciness - On a scale of 1 (mild) to 10 (extremely spicy)
3.A listing of ALL ingredients - to avoid any allergies among judges/tasters

NCC will provide a wide variety of condiments such as shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped onions, hot sauces, paperware, utensils, drinks, etc. However, these items will NOT be used during the judging competition. Good luck!

If making chili is not your thing, then you can still join us as a 'taster'. Who knows, we may need your 'tasting' skills as a judge!

Registration is now open for our 2017 Chili Cookoff! After a 1 year hiatus, we're back to battle it out for the ultimate bragging rights for the best darn chili!

We've added a new category this year and will have 3 different competitive groups:

Traditional Red - classic red chili sauce, with or without meat; NO beans, pasta, or other filler allowed
Homestyle - anything goes! red/green/white chili, with or without meat, beans/pasta/filler are optional
Vegetarian - anything goes EXCEPT meat! red/green/white chili. beans/pasta/filler are optional


BTW - we need more chili chefs! This event doesn't work if there's only 2 pots of chili and 20 judges...so grab your friends and family, start perfecting your recipes, and let's throw down!

Hey everyone! New member and first meet up to attend. I should have brought a good recipe from New England. Unfortunately my wife and I will only be tasters!
