“Tue., 11.16 I will be at Mayfield Park in Austin filming a short segment on cooking competition chili for the Food Channel. Shows name: United Tastes of America. Friends are welcome to come by between 10:30 & 11:00 AM to taste and give comments on chili. The filming should wrap around noon. The park address is: 3505 W. 35th St. (Old Bull Creek), Austin. Please let me know if you can make it.

Producer is now giving me a different address to the entrance: 3801 Old Bull Creek Road - it's about 1/4 mile away from the address shown above. Will keep everyone posted on the location - would be so fun to see my chili buddies next week. I know it's late notice, I had not known they were going to select me for this until Wed. of this last week.” Margaret Nadeau

Two central Texas chili cooks passed away recently, BB Hughes and Jimmie Doherty. Information can be found at http://www.centraltexaschili.com/.
