> Chili # 2 Austin's Afterburner Chili...
> Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang. Judge #

> Chili # 3 Ronny's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili...
> Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Needs more beans.
> Judge # 2 -- A bean less chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
> Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose

>
> Chili # 4 Dave's Black Magic...
> Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
> Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish

>
> Chili # 5 Lisa's Legal Lip Remover...
> Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground,
> adding considerable kick. Very impressive. Judge # 2 -- Chili using

> It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming.
> Screw those rednecks.

> Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic.
