    All chili must be pre-pared in the open. One cook must be at a station at any time (no unattended kitchens)
2. CHILI COOKED FROM SCRATCH. "Scratch" is defined as starting with raw meat(provided by KHF).
    You will need to supply the cooking mechanism – propane cooker, coleman stove, really big magnifying glass).

   (If a contestant refuses, his or her chili will be disqualified.)
7. Plan to make a minimum of 3-5 gallons of chili. We are hoping for a good crowd, and they can’t vote for you if
   they can’t taste your chili. You’ll be tired anyway, so make enough for leftovers on Sunday. You must take your
    leftovers home or you can try sneaking leftovers into the coolers of others.
8. Hygiene/Food Handling: Please attempt to keep foreign debris, hair and pharmaceuticals out of your chili. Head cook is
   responsible for maintaining a clean and hygienic area and will ensure that all food is prepared and handled in a safe

Judging Criteria -    Chili will be judged according to 4 criteria. Chili will be rated on a scale of
                      5 to 10 for each of the 4 categories, and each category is weighted differently,
                      with the lowest judge’s score dropped;

   1. Appearance – Chili should look appetizing, reddish brown and generally exciting.
   2. Consistency – Chili must have a good ratio between sauce and meat. It should not be dry,
                     watery, grainy, lumpy, or greasy.
   3. Taste – Taste, above all else, taste is the most important factor. The taste should consist of a
              combination of meat, spices, etc. with no particular ingredient being dominant.
   4. After-taste – The aftertaste or bite is the heat created by the various types of spices and or
                   peppers.

REMEMBER. Your chili needs to be friendly for all tasters, spice and flavor is great, but an Insanely Hot, Spicy
          bowl of Chili may not be everyone’s cup of tea!!!
