Inside Cambria, News and infoCongratulations to 'Gimpy Gourmet' aka Joe  Anderson for his first place award in the 1998 Beans N Jeans Jamboree Chili Cook-off.  Second place went to Jennifer Thieme, third place to Cambria Rotary Club cooked by Ken Cooper.

This years event was only marred by low attendance; the chili's were as good as or in many cases better than at last years event. The results were a complete shakeup of last years standing.

Who would have thought West End Bar & Grille would disappear from the landscape, that the Kiwanis chili would blow the roof of you mouth off (third place last year), and where was the Cookie Crock in all of this.

We here at Cambria's Best feel it is more a reflection on the unstable nature of chili and it's accompanying ingredients than on the skill and protocol followed by any of the chefs.

Their gimmick was to put a white chili, 'Pearly Gate' into a cup with red chili, 'hell's kitchen' and separate the two with a tortilla chip. The consumer is then invited to remove the chip to watch as heaven and hell come together.
