Our PROS love a little friendly competition and brought their best recipes and secret sauces to the table for PROS inaugural Chili Cook-Off. From traditional Texas-style chili to options with unique ingredients, the teams clearly poured in hours of preparation and passion into perfecting their recipes, and it showed in the outstanding flavors.

Each chili was evaluated by a panel of judges based on appearance, aroma and flavor. The competition was hot, but in the end, the judges crowned Hotfix Heat as the ‘Top Chili Champion’ with team members Aaron Morales, Alex Carranza, Uttran Ishtalingam, Jason Wycough, Joshua Hand.

The PROS also had the opportunity to choose a ‘PROS Choice Award,’ and out of nearly 100 votes, the Chili Knights secured the win, including team members Dewayne Walker, AJ Hicks, Dallas Fairley, and Timothy Shields, who brought home the coveted Wooden Spoon.

More than a culinary competition, PROS Chili Cook-Off was a fun and exciting celebration of our diverse talents, culinary creativity and culture, and a reminder that, when it comes to spicing things up, PROS knows how to bring the heat!

Thank you to everyone who participated, and we look forward to more fun and flavorful events that cook up lasting memories!
