If you missed the “ridiculously packed” Chili Takedown at Union Pool (judges the Feed and the ’bag have reports, as do contestants Blondie and Brownie and Not Eating Out in NY), know that Spring Lounge will be hosting its annual Chili Cook-off on February 15. E-mail springlounge48@aol.com for entry details. As for the next Takedown, rumor has it that it’ll involve bacon. Of course.
