the only winner not from the USA in years past was a Canadien in 1995 Really? Was it Patrice Breisbois? Him or Koivu - that's my guess.

Mmmmmmmmm, chili! Will there be anything there as wonderful and hot as Chief Wiggums' 'super-spicy chili made with Guatemalan peppers that had been grown by mental patients? Will Johnny Cash show up as a coyote? Will Homer find his soul mate? We'll have to wait until Nov. 2nd to find out!!!!!!

Weedy, it was a Mr. Brian Peddigrew from Pitt Meadows, British Columbia who concocted the World Championship Recipe in 1995, and I was told by a reliable source that it was a venison chili, with the venison being brought from up north o' the border as well (figgers, 1995 was THE hottest year on record here, and the native deer were a mite peaked that season). Had to be good to impress the ridge running skalawags that pass as judges for this event!

It is sort of a sport because it started with a newly deceased lawyer and the great Carrol Shelby, winner of Lemans and of Cobra fame.
