There was some superb chili at that competition. Johnny from Basi put out an amazingly good one, with orange, honey, and a hint of espresso; the Urban Chef guys did one with rabbit and I forget what else now, but damn was it good. In the amateur category, which I'd been thinking of entering myself next year, Lisa's made me seriously reconsider: not to knock the top two (only one of which I tried, and -- wow), but if chili as good as hers didn't win something, I suspect I'd be wasting my time.
This competition needs more awards, seriously. The Basi chili tied for second in the professional category but ended up losing the tiebreaker... and the only awards were first and second place!!!

Great photos! I was sad that we missed out. We hit the Pancake Breakfast early in Clintonville, but the lines there turned out to be so insane that we really had not time to make it back down for the Fiery Foods Fest before running other errands today. :(
Looking forward to more spicy foods at the NM at the CInco D'Ohio event in May!

I have shots from the morning.
CaJohn's store, seen from the upstairs balcony
CaJohn's "Execution Station" - a series of progressively-hotter sauces to sample
I did a little bit of prep work cutting manzano peppers - the only kind with black seeds
CaJohn and Steve Lawrence give a cooking demonstration, a big elaborate Mexican breakfast
The hot wing sauce contest from a judge's perspective, we were given these score cards to rate the sauces. We got a little sampler taste of the sauce alone, and one wing tossed in the sauce
Some of those suckers were hot! We were sweating...
Ahh, shopping at North Market...
