There were some serious contenders this year,
That brisket chorizo chili was like WOW hot with lots of underlying deep flavor.
The dude put some jalapenos sliced down the middle on top (Jelly side down) for presentation.
He’s a fisherman ands often fishes Falcon lake on the Mexican border.
I said dude, you should have flipped the chilies over and hollowed them out to make little boats and put little beaner guys in sombreros in there fishing in the chili, then you would have got 1st place! LOL
I have friends that live in Zapata (their whole life) and they say it is too dangerous now to fish Falcon.
They are Hispanic and they say it would be even worse for me (angry white male)... they say it is like a War Zone.
