\"PROS<\/p>\n

One-hundred taste-testers. Eight talented teams. Three judges. Two winners. One exciting spicy event.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"PROS
PROS ‘Top Chili’ Champion Hotfix Heat<\/em><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/strong> as the ‘Top Chili Champion’ with team members Aaron Morales, Alex Carranza, Uttran Ishtalingam, Jason Wycough, Joshua Hand<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Dewayne
‘PROS Choice’ Award Chili Knights<\/em><\/p>\n

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

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!<\/p>\n

Thank you to everyone who participated, and we look forward to more fun and flavorful events that cook up lasting memories!<\/p>\n
