And The Winners Are
TRUCKEE, CALIFORNIA – June 26, 2011 – A record crowd of
chili lovers witnessed a classic contest among 15
colorful teams fighting to the finish for the top prize
at the hotly contested 3rd Annual Truckee Chili Cookoff
today. The event was MC’ed by KOH radio personality
Monica Jaye who roamed the venue keeping the audience
informed and entertained with her forceful wit.

Taking
First Place in the Individual category were Old Farts
Makin’ Chili, the team of Don Davis and Rex Ianson,
competing in their third Cookoff. A better illustration
of practice makin’ perfect would be hard to find. Poets
on Payday, the Grand Champion from 2009, added a team
member and once again remained competitive by nailing
down Second Place.

First honors in the Non-profit category went to the team
from the Truckee Firefighters Association. Once
again Second Place went to the team from the U. S.
Forest Service.

The
Restaurant category was won by first-time entrant Summit
Restaurant and Bar. Second place saw an unusual tie
between Plumpjack Squaw Valley Inn Restaurant, last
year’s Restaurant winner and Sugar Bowl Ski Resort,
another team competing for the first time. The fact that
two such quality restaurants competed and placed highly
reflects the increased attention the Truckee Chili
Cookoff is getting throughout the Lake Tahoe community.
The
Grand Champion of the 3rd Annual Truckee Chili Cookoff
was the Individual winner, Old Farts Makin’ Chili.

The People’s Choice Award was garnered by
Faith Sprague’s team from TahoeLeisure.com.
