CHILINNEUM T shirts are available for a measly $15 (hand delivered in most cases; +$3 postage for others)  in Medium, Large, X-Large, and XX-Large.

Wearing this T shirt at the cook-off will most likely get you a "beer or two"* at our booth at the chili cook-off. Email me for availability:

Featuring one recipe (so far):
