Kathy Hipskind (of Lodi, California) developed her Champion Recipe Reds Wop N Good Chili for the 22 years prior to her win. She had to twist her husband Dave’s arm to get him to join her at chili Cook-offs- he wasn’t interested in the competition or even a fan of chili beans! The Hipskinds had two sets of friends who cooked chili and showed them how fun and family-friendly cook-offs are. Kathy thanks her parents Marilyn and Louie Richichi, now two beautiful angels, for being there through all of her cook-off years.
