The Kenosha
Drivers Club was called upon to enter their world
famous, award winning chili in a recent chili cook-off
at the nearby Brat Stop in Kenosha. Several members felt
that they were up for the challenge. (Dan Allemand,
Chris Hannes, Jim Strouf, & Brian Rummelhart). All four
members agreed that there would be a couple of hurdles
they must jump: (1) They had no idea how to make award
winning chili, and: (B) the last thing they made was an
egg bake that consisted of pizza, doughy biscuits, raw
eggs, and 3 lbs. of fatty undercooked bacon. This
concoction resulted in one person throwing his food
across the table in disgust. Although, another person
did go back for seconds because he said the pizza was
good. This alone gave the club members enough confidence
to think they could actually pull this off. And, they
thought, what's the worst that could happen. "We are
going up against 9 local restaurants and pubs, so we
should be able to finish in the top ten." Allemand
exclaimed. All they needed was a plan. Even though they
never did come up with a plan, they still proceeded.
They had a unanimous vote of one (Rumme), and declared
chicken chili to be there entry. Hannes started by
buying precisely 16 lbs of chicken. He knew that would
be exactly what this chili needed. Since Hannes had the
main ingredient at his house already, Dan & Brian bought
the other things they probably needed and went to the
Hannes kitchen to create their masterpiece. Then the
magic happened. All of the chopping, cutting, cooking,
dicing & slicing..........it was enough to bring a tear
to Allemands eye. That, and the fact that he was cutting
onions. Any way you look at it, it got a hug out of
Hannes. Just when it looked like things couldn't get any
better, Dan reached into a cupboard with his eyes closed
and pulled out the beloved mystery spice. All that was
left to do now was to let it cook for awhile, then let
it set up over night. Just then, Strouf showed up to
help eat Halloween candy. Thanks Jim. None of the men
were able to sleep that night with the anticipation of
the next days events.
