Big congratulations to the Christian & Small Holy Smokes team for earning top marks at Saturday’s The Exceptional Foundation Chili Cook-Off! Christian & Small has participated for years, but in 2023, Eddie Elliott and Jansen Voss got serious with their recipe, and their hard work paid off this year. With nearly 200 teams competing, the Holy Smokes earned a red ribbon for placing in the top 30, and then a blue ribbon for reaching the top 16! The event raises between $450,000 and $500,000 and attracts almost 14,000 visitors. Come see us next year and taste our award-winning chili!
