It was a great day to eat buckets and buckets of chili last Saturday down at Bubba’s, as the Texas BBQ venue hosted their 11th annual chili cook-off event. A scaled back event from previous years, the field for 2016 consisted of 11 chili teams vying for People Choice, Judges Choice, and Best Team Theme prizes. Your SmartShanghai.com chili correspondent was honored to be one of the judges for the event, a process that consisted of being sequestered into a room and blind tasting the entries in total, monk-like silence. We were closely monitored to make sure no backroom chili chicanery went on, scoring randomly numbered samples based on aroma, appearance, and taste. Full list of winners after the jump.
