PROS Chili Cookoff: A Tasty Showdown in Honor of Go Texan Day

Our Houston headquarters turned up the heat with its second PROS Chili Cookoff, a crowd-favorite competition in celebration of Go Texan Day!

Three teams went head-to-head, bringing their best recipe to the table. With two titles up for grabs—People’s Choice Award and Judges' Pick—stakes were high, and the quality of the chili was even higher.

The Chili Knights stole the show, winning over their coworkers and securing the People’s Choice Award with their fan-favorite recipe for the second consecutive year. Congratulations to AJ Hicks, Dewayne Walker, and Dallas Fairley for their winning dish that kept everyone coming back for more!

Chili by Committee impressed senior leaders, taking home the Judges' Pick title with a bold and flavorful creation. Hats off to William Luu, Scott Fisher, Carlos Prokopiu, Bryana Varnado, and Alberto Maldonado for their culinary excellence!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated, cooked, judged, and taste-tested their way through the event.

A special thanks to our employee event organizers for putting together another fun and flavorful event.

This annual event is more than a friendly competition—it’s a celebration of our Texas culture and roots, our incredible people and the connections we build through friendly (and delicious) rivalry. Until next year—keep those recipes simmering!
