    The 2019 International Frank X. Tolbert-Wick Fowler Memorial Championship Chili Cook-Off is held Oct. 30-Nov. 2. abowlofred.com

    The judging of the International Frank X. Tolbert-Wick Fowler Memorial Championship Chili Cook-Off in Terlingua is underway. There are 10 of us seated at a long table, and to the casual observer it would seem we’re performing an ancient religious rite. We plunge spoons into the numbered, 24-ounce Styrofoam cups of brick-red chili in front of each one of us, and raise them to our lips.

    Working quickly, we taste, note a score between one and 10, and pass the cup to the right. Rule No.
