Nine year old Briana Cassidy won the Casmar Cafe’s Chilli Throwdown today defeating 12 competitors including Brad Culp, who placed second.  The complete official results are as follows:

• 1st place Briana Cassidy
• 2nd place Brad Culp
• 3rd place Kim Kmat
• 4th place tie Debbie McAllister/Paul Hamaday

Last year Kmat won first place, Cassidy placed third and Culp came in fourth.  So for the second time Culp was defeated by a little girl.  After the judging, the crowd got to enjoy sampling all 12 chili bowls.

Over the summer the Casmar has a rib contest.  Rumor has it Tex, who did not place with his chicken chili today, is planning to drive his smoker from Texas and dominate the competition.
