"Out O Site Chili Too"

Bob Coats - Irving, Texas

 

1999 Terlingua International Chili Championship Winner

I started cooking in 1980 with Doris Kitterman, who later became Doris Coats. My first points came that year at the Waxahachie, Texas Cow Creek Cookoff, at which I took 3rd place, which were the only points I received that year.

I have been blessed to have placed in the to 10 at TICC 6 times since 1981.

My honey hole cookoff is Chilympiad, the Texas Men's State Championship Cookoff. I am the 1999 winner and have placed in the top 20 on 12 occasions.

Doris and I have cooked the country over and have had some limited success. With a coach like Doris success just seems to follow.

I am a chili grind activist and would like to see it become the required type of meat cooked at all cookoffs, including championships.

I support CASI completely, even though it does not always agree with me. I am a Life Member of CASI, number L002, and believe that if you cook or vote in a CASI event or election you should be a dues paying member.
