Random Rippling - Chili Cook-Off at historic BR Lodge
posted: Nov. 02, 2007
Six chili chefs vied for the 2007 Chili Cook-Off championship at the Broad Ripple Masonic Lodge #643, located at 1716 Broad Ripple Avenue. This year's chili recipes ranged from classic beef and bean to "Poe's Possum Soup" and "Here Kitty Kitty." I enjoyed all six over spaghetti and hot dogs, topped with cheese and crackers. Yes, I have an iron stomach! Photo shoot scheduling kept me from staying long enough to find out who won, but the real winners were those of us who chowed down.
Poe's Possum Soup was actually was made with venison. It was tasty, and served with deer sausage.
