Most think it's just some smelling, lip smacking, swizzling, and swallowing. OK. STOP. We are talking Chilli Cookoff Judging here. Not that. Truthfully, it's about facing fear. Is this one a 10 no no it's a 9. Maybe the last one was best....it's hard to say. The life of a cook off judge is demanding and can often times be dangerous. Today sitting at Table D4 with my amigo was just that sort of day. You can feel the eyes of the contestants as they leer at you from outside the judging building. All their hopes and dreams slurped up by a few unknown people. Only one can win and it's deadly serious business. Texture, Aroma, taste, ingredients, and spiciness all have to to be weighted and balanced in the blink of an eye. I'm sweating just thinking about it. The experience will stay with you long after the last spoon as been thrown away. Believe me....uggg. The Chilli Cookoff at the High Sierra today was no small event. Judges are sworn to secrecy during the judging. Psst....a secret....Number 3. It was number 3. You didn't hear it from me.
