HEAD COOK: Joe Regan

COMPETITION: World Open Chili Championship

QUALIFYING EVENT: 2013 World Food Championships


As a man who has seen it all, but has understood very little of it, it is exciting to cook chili alongside some of the best chili athletes on the planet. After an extensive three year tour of Europe, Scandinavia and the sub-continent, I'm glad to be back in Vegas competing.
