Saturday, October 26th, Kappa Alpha Order and Delta Sigma Phi held their Chili Cook-off event once again, and with great success. Proceeds taken from the entrance fees are put towards The Independence Fund and The Nest Lexington, two local causes the fraternities often support.
Judged by Dean Covert, Michelle Thompson, and President Lewis, each team was ranked on a 1-10 scale (10 as the highest score) in different categories such as taste, texture/temp, presentation, originality, and the overall score being ranked out of 40 points total. There were four winners, the overall winner being the “Texas Chicken Chili” team. Each winning group received mini trophies to take home and place in the “Chili Competition Trophy Case” I assume they all own.
According to Sean Gannon, participant, winner, and member of Delta Sigma Phi, “We had more teams than last time, and more people took it seriously. Some people used cool ingredients like brisket meat, homemade sauces, and spice (compared to last year).”
