Cook-off, held on Friday, March 4, attracted nine participants and various chili recipes were enjoyed by about 50 local diners. Celebrity ladlers came from many walks of life and included Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald, Chatham-Kent Leamington MP Dave Epp, Leamington Councillor Bill Dunn, Deputy Fire Chief Mike Ciacelli, OPP Constable Katherine Burt, Chartwell Leamington’s Nadia DiDomenico, Rosewood Erie Glen’s Melissa Loeppgy and Home Instead’s Stephanie Gill. Pots of steaming hot chili were provided by Cardinal Carter Secondary School, Chartwell, Home Instead, Knights of Columbus, Leamington District Secondary School, Leamington Fire Department, Leamington Half Century Centre, Rosewood Erie Glen and Seacliff Manor. Three esteemed judges
— Councillors Paul Tiessen and John Hammond, and Deputy Fire Chief Derrick Clark — were sequestered in the back room and challenged with coming up with first
and second place winners through a blind taste test. Patrons in the dining area all got to vote for the People’s Choice as well. When the chili powder settled, the Leamington
Fire Department took first place honours, with LDSS in the runner-up position. People’s Choice among the 48 diners went to Knights of Columbus.
Leamington residents Shirley and Bob Read were first in line to enjoy the various chili recipes as ladlers Hilda MacDonald and Dave Epp looked on.
