Ok so here I is sitting in the living room minding my own business when the Editor of the paper calls me. He says since you won the chili cook off, and our reporter said you really get into this sort of thing. We want to do an article about you and how you do the chili cook offs. AAhhh OK says I. So a coupls of days later I go up to the newspaper office and sit down for this interview. First question out of the gate is "So how many chili cook-offs have you done?" Ahh this is my first one. You going to enter in the chili cook- off in Dubuque? Nope they already had it and I just did this on a whim. Silence. Then he asked about the sausage idea I had in the chili and how did that come about. Long story short the rest of the interview became about the Bradley Smokers, The Forum, and about the Midwest Smoke Out. Ended up being about a 45 minute interview. Well surprise surprise. I unfold this weeks paper and there's my ugly mug on the front page!! He forgot to stop by and take a picture on Saturday when I was smoking my snack sticks. So I sent him one of the pictures 10.5 1/4 took.

Here's the link to the article that he wrote.

Go ahead and give me crap! It can't be any worse than what Momma and our friends are giving me. Being in the paper 2 weeks in a row and not to mention being on the front page!
