How it settles

The cook-off's own judged first place, as posted by the organisers.

Alex

It repeats. Last year's winner is defending and nobody's touched her recipe.

Sam

It doesn't. The meat chilis outnumber it four to one on the judging table.

Remove this bet

This takes Does a vegetarian chili win the neighborhood cook-off two years running? out of the book for good, along with its sides, notes and any amendments. It cannot be undone — there is no bin to fish it back out of.

It has been settled, so removing it also takes back the 1 stars it banked and the score at the top of The Guide will change.
