Wood Fire Italian Trattoria repeated Saturday as winner of the Ice Time Festival Professional Chili Cookoff, also known as the “chili crawl.”
Wood Fire in 2011 wrested the traveling trophy from five-time winner Beeson Street Bar and Grill.
Seven amateur chefs entered Crockpots in the other bracket, with first-place Jim Rank winning a $50 Universal Dowagiac Gift Certificate; Dave Chapman, second, $25; and Jo Lyn Smiley, third, $10.
