It should come as no surprise that the folks at FSI are a
bit competitive. We sneer at the notion
that anyone could top our 99.9% pick/pack/ship accuracy rate, and point to our
steadily growing collection of achievements ranging from the Inc. 5000 List to
the Top 25 Businesses as proof of how hard we like to work. But with the cool weather
sending us an official memo that summer is gone, it seemed like a great idea to
share a terrific fall meal together. And what better way to start off a great
meal than to announce the winners from the 2011 FSI Chili Cook-Off? So that’s exactly what we did today.
No beans about it, these guys can cook! We had 9 entries, and each one was really
good. Ranging from a little on the sweet
side to a bit on the fiery side, it was all good. Forrest Marbutt, Carleen Blakes, Charlie
Hayes, and Daryl Gramling were selected to judge the event, and the hardest
part was figuring out who should claim the first prize.
But someone had to win, and as it turns out, Karen Cross
walked away with the blue ribbon. Not
bad for someone who doesn’t even eat chili!
Second prize went to Drew Yarborough, with Bobby Stephenson right on his
heels in third place. There was tons of
food, and the only thing missing was live music by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. (Sadly, they’re on tour in Ireland.)
We have always enjoyed our company gatherings. Thanks to everyone who participated and
congrats to the winners!

Drew Yarborough just narrowly missed the top award, garnering Second Place.
Bobby Stephenson proves he can cook up a mean bowl of chili. Great job!
