ChiliFest 2012

I haven't been doing much running, so what did I do instead? I went to NYChiliFest 2012. It was a lot of fun. And there was a lot of chili: texas-style, hand cut meat, spicy, really spicy, really really spicy, unusual (tripe chili anyone?). You get the point. Some were really good. The winner - La Palapa - was one of my favorites of the night - the chef talked about all the different ways she used chili - dry, fresh, rub. It was spicy, but yummy. Dickson's, which donated the meat, made a very spicy chili that I could barely eat, especially since I didn't have any water to wash it down with, only beer. This was just a sampling of the chilis I tried. There were a lot more that I didn't take pictures of.
