Columbus Chili Cook-off 2013

December 16, 2013

The holiday season is a great time of year to relax and spend time with friends, family, and coworkers. It’s a time of year filled with great food, cheer, and let’s not forget about college and NFL football.

 

At ms, the holiday season also means it’s time for our annual Columbus Chili Cook-off! This event celebrates the rivalry between the Ohio State University and the University of Michigan, and honors ms’ best chili cook. This year we had 16 chili recipes entered, a record for our company. From black bean vegetarian to lime and chili pepper infused, there was a chili for every taste bud. Not only that, but Buck I Guy made a surprise visit for the event!

 

This year’s cook-off winner was our Transportation Director, Jim Bednar.  Congratulations to Jim and a big “thank you” for agreeing to share your chili recipe with us all.

 

Enjoy!
