2016 -Coyote Chili
byJim Watson
In 2009 (and after taking a break from ICS to run his own restaurant) Jim came back hot winning the Salsa World Championship in in West Virginia. Over the previous three decades, Jim has cooked in the WCCC ten times and picked up a few hat tricks along the way, including in 2016! Over the years, Jim and his wife Karen (also a Chilihead!) have become close friends with tons of interesting people they’ve met while cooking chili, and to whom they are very thankful for their help and comments.
