Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce’s 7th Annual Chilly Chili Cook-Off at the Eastern Slope Inn and Flatbread Company. Boasting the best turnout to date, the cook-off event drew in upwards of 600 attendees ready to taste their way through the event and cast their people’s choice votes. A panel of judges comprised of local celebrities and culinary profes- sionals were on hand during the event with the belly-aching task of tasting and evaluating all 34 chili submis- sions. After much deliberation, the judges awarded the Appalachian Mountain Club Highland Center at Crawford Notch the first place prize in the chili competition, and second place to individual contestant, John Vescera, from Worcester, Mass. The people’s choice award for best chili, as determined by the public, went to the Mt.
