Here at merry Marvel, we like to eat. With an office full of foodies, putting together some sort of cookoff or eating contest is a no-brainer. Thankfully, Special Projects Assistant Editor John Denning organized our second annual Grand Chili Cookoff.
John (along with some help from staffers Raphael Rodriguez and Nelson Ribeiro) gathered together seven epically skilled cooks to whip together awesome eats—and lovingly assault the taste buds of Marvel NYC!
