Howdy Pardners!
 
If y’all thunk we here at Marvel was in the business of makin’ comicy books you’d be wronger than a three legged mule at a carousel! Y’see, the House of Ideas is actually The Corrall of Chili! That’s why today we held, The GRAND CHILI COOKOFF. So varmints could put their recipes where their mouths are! Contestants included some of the meanest, roughest, toughest, desperados this side of the Rio Grande. They looked more like the sheriff’s most wanted
list than a gang of cooks. There was:
 
John Denning, Jody LeHeup, Darren Montalbano, Damien Lucchese, Peter Olson, Lauren Sankovitch, Jeanine Schaefer.
 
They stared each other in the eyes as they squared off to see who’d be the first ta flinch. Then like a gunshot the lids came off the pots and the towns folk came a stampedin’ like bulls in summer. Then when the smoke cleared there was just one standin. The meanest, toughest, rootin-tootinest, chili maker in all the west: Darren Montalbano. The rest o’ them rode off into the sunset with their tails between their legs swearin’ they’d be back next year and that there’d be a reckoning!
