16th Annual Tucson Firefighter’s Chili Cook Off Photos (Can you tell I like Zombies?)

• JOHN DE DIOS

The 16th Annual Tucson Firefighter’s Chili Cook Off seemed to go off very well again this year. El Presidio was packed with revelers and chili fans of a very wide swath of age groups. Here’s a link to a break-dancing 5-year-old.

I have maybe eight cups of chili. I have no idea who won, but my vote goes to the guys at Lucky Thirteen. Although, that was after I arrived and many of the booths had already run out of their own stuff.

Here are some photos from Friday night. Enjoy.
