To celebrate the cooler Michigan weather and upcoming holidays, AMT’s Advanced Engineering Solutions Group recently organized their 2019 Chili Cookoff. Six engineers participated, submitting chili which ranged from mild to sign-a-disclaimer spicy. Grilled cheese sandwiches were also served, along with a range of chili toppings.

Lunch attendees voted for their favorite chili via a “super-secret” ballot, and it was determined that Kelly’s chili, designated with the letter “C” was the most outstanding entry of the day. Upon hearing the verdict, Mike Ingles demanded a recount, describing the event as “fixed.” It should be noted that Mr. Ingles’ chili placed last.

The Chili Cookoff prize was a custom-designed and 3D-printed trophy, created by the multi-talented Jason Markesino. Per contest rules, Kelly is required to display the trophy on her desk until the new year.
