competitions and lots of great chili.\u00a0 I started making these awards about eight years ago, and they are now a time-honored tradition with the locals.\u00a0 My favorite joke this year?\u00a0 The Restaurant awards feature all the amazing things that will happen to the winners of these awards: getting a key to the city, your name in a local paper, and the world-famous environmental artist <a
