Chili enthusiasts from across the nation sought, sampled and savored chili that represented seventeen states and Mexico. The farthest-travelled chili team was the highly favored "Ermanos Orgo," consisting of Ramon and Shinola Orgo from Tierra Del Caca, Sonora, Mexico. The second place finishers in last year's event, the Mc-Daniels Mc-Daniels Brothers, Rufus, Rasmus and Oink of Terlingua, Texas, looked confident throughout the entire en-tire afternoon and made no secret of their total disdain for their arch-rival team from South of the Border. Also on hand with their entries en-tries were Lloyd "Steve" Stevens and Greg Ashe of local restaurant infamy. Wasatch Red represented Amarillo, Texas and presented presen-ted what was probably the hottest chili, reminiscent of the days of chili veteran Wick Fowler and his famous five-alarm gutbomb. The judges deliberated for hours, sometimes sampling a single entry three and four times. A tally of the scores revealed that the McDaniels Brothers had tied with "Wasatch Red" for first place honors. Second place went to ''Los Ermanos Orgo," and third was captured cap-tured by "Ex Sirloin" piloted by Greg Ashe. Reporters made it virtually vir-tually impossible to contact the winners for over an hour. , However, the McDaniels Brothers finally consented to the interview that follows. (Conspicuously among the missing was Rufus McDaniels Mc-Daniels who had to fly to Terlingua where the brothers are engaged in the pork packing business. ) M.M.:Boys, this is a highly coveted and sought after award. To what do you attribute at-tribute your success? Rasmus:Clean living, constant con-stant prayer and an infallible in-fallible knowledge of chili.

I guess that's why they have 2nd and 3rd place awards. We were shooting for Number 1. M.M..: Oink, do you concur with what your colleague has stated? Flow does it feel to come out on (op as the Utah chili champs? Oink: It's very difficult to always be Number 1. Taking 2nd ain't easy, but runners-up runners-up usually "don't have to hassle with the constant badgering by the press and other media. The seemingly endless photo sessions. We travel to chili cook-offs all over the world and at times it seems as if we have no homes, roots, or private lives. So, you see, it's not all glory being the champs; there's a lot of hard work and heartache involved. M.M. : Could you give our readers a little insight concerning con-cerning your recipe? Oink: Well, basically we start with 101 chunks of the best beef obtainable and simmer the bejeezus out of it through a special process. M.M. : Would you care to. elaborate on that, Rasmus?

And trying to do it with the door open, like the time and place lines on a party invitation. Which brings up another thing you could have bet on, especially in this town: no one was refusing.

By Hank Louis We piled out and the dogs, like trusty scouts will, lept and bound in all directions. "Get the dogs back in the truck," said the Crust. "Back in the truck?" "Yeah. No dogs." "But..." "They gotta be treated like dogs every once in while. They ain't human. They can't go fishing whenever they want." We corraled the dogs back into the car, rolled the windows down a sliver. "You can come back here and walk them periodically." "Oh, okay. Thanks." "And take that ridiculous hat off." "Ridiculous hat? I just got it. It's one of my favorites. Made in Guatemala." "Just take it off." "How come?" "What do you think, these trout are some kinda dummies? You scare them. They don't get big being brave, you know. And next time don't wear a red sweatshirt. Only thing worse than red is white, and you got a white T-shirt on, too. Jesus!" Down near the creek, the Crust says, "Zip up your sweatshirt, will ya ! " All we can say is that the Crust must have been right. All I got is one crumby bite. It must have been the sweatshirt. At the end of the day the Crust said he caught four. Or was it five? "What did you do with them? " "Threw 'em back. Too small." "When did you catch them? Must have been when we were walking the dogs? " "Was," said the Crust, smiling.
