The finish line
Posted on 14. Dec, 2009 by Mike in Yuppiechef Diary
It’s been a long, hard-fought slog folks but he’s done it. Mike has won the chili competition. With two beautiful specimens to show off, he won by a country mile.
As for the other contenders, well, there is always next year. Perhaps we could grow a flower, or a common weed and perhaps then it would be a more fair competition. As for today, Mike is off celebrating by taking his day off all the way in the garden route, where chilies grow like weeds, weeds grow like Pierre Spies in the off season and the off season doesn’t exist. It’s just a perfect place year round.
Thank you to everyone who competed, it was a wonderful journey of self-discipline, tactics, scientific research and most notably, vermi-juice. To all the thousands of fans watching world wide, thanks for the steady stream of encouragement on the blog and advice emailed in. And finally, to those that lost: you have 24 hours to eat the winner’s chili. Good luck.

Let it be known that a mere two weeks later my plant sprouted the most glorious chili the office has ever seen. Mike, you got lucky this time.
