On Friday, September 9, 2022, the smell of chili wafted from Ukiah’s Alex Thomas Plaza where 35 chili connoisseurs competed to be voted the best of the best at the 25th Annual Chili Cook Off hosted by Granite Construction.
The event benefitted the Boys and Girls Club of Ukiah filling bellies, and bringing friends and families together, who ultimately dubbed Ukiah’s Thirsty Axe The People’s Choice Champion of the Cook Off
Our photographer Peter Armstrong was there capturing the smiles and community as neighbors set aside their differences to celebrate their love for chili.
