The 2009 Results are in: There's a new KING of Chili in Franklin

As you know, we totally rigged the entire chili cook-off this year. All of the voting was fixed and unless you were in our family, there was little chance for you to take home the coveted chili pepper necklace, crown and kings cape. When all was said and done, Mr. Ken and Mr. Tom gave up their awards graciously and even helped the new king put the garb on!
Rather than dismiss the rumors of ballot fixing, we thought it best to go ahead and acknowledge that we rigged it! Forget the fact that everyone voted for the winners.. it was rigged... :)
All kidding aside, we really enjoyed everyone being here. The weather could not have been nicer and the Titans win sure made it much easier to take too!   Congrats to all of the winners!!!
Thanks for coming,
Tom and Cheri
