Spicing Things Up at Princeton Hydro: The Great Chili Cook-Off of 2023!

The Princeton Hydro Headquarters simmered with excitement and spicy aromas wafted through the halls, heralding the arrival of the Great Chili Cook-off of 2023. Seven daring individuals put their secret chili recipes to the test in a flavorful showdown.

Team members gathered to partake in the spicy celebration. And, to make things official, we invited three esteemed foodies who own resturants in Trenton, NJ to judge the competition. Caesar Rosales of Caesar’s Italian Restaurant, Deonna Maldonado of Skil-Lit Cafe, and Reggie Hall of 1911 Smokehouse BBQ lent their discerning palates to the task of crowning the ultimate chili champion. (Psst, if you haven’t been to these local spots, go grab lunch asap!)

Amidst the taste-testing, banter, and a pinch of friendly competition, the moment arrived for the winners to claim their titles. Drumrolls echoed the announcement as Tara Srinivasan was crowned 1st Place and Christiana Pollack, CERP, CFM, GISP claimed 2nd Place. Their victory came with the esteemed titles of “Chili Champ,” along with a custom-made 2023 Chili Cook-off wooden cutting board and, of course, the bragging rights.

Each of the seven cook-off participants and the three judges received a custom-engraved spoon to commemorate their culinary bravery and celebrate their contributions to the spicy showdown.

The event wasn’t merely about chili; it was a testament to the spirit of community that thrives at Princeton Hydro. Let’s raise our ladles to the thrill of competition and the warmth of a shared meal that brings us all together!
