Chili and Cornbread are perfect winter comfort food, so we set off to North Conway Village, New Hampshire to experience the 13th Annual Chilly Chili Cook-Off presented by the Mt Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce. For those not familiar with chili, Merriam-Webster dictionary defines it as "Chili con carne, a spiced stew of ground beef and minced chiles or chili powder usually with beans," and cornbread as "a bread or cake made with cornmeal." These broad definitions provided plenty of opportunity for chefs to let their creativity flow for this very tasty competition.
