The 8th annual California CASI Chili Championship was the biggest and best so far. A contingent of Texas cooks converged on Lodi and found that the California judges had a taste for Texas chili. We placed six of the top ten places.
The event featured chili cookoff, car show, and twenty vendors raising funds for the Lodi Public Library Foundation. More than a thousand people came out to taste chili and see the action and we raised over $5000 for the charity.
