Businesses along Third and Fourth streets whipped up batches of homemade chili and let taste buds choose the winners. This year’s winners, announced at Molly’s Irish Grille after hours of sampling, were: Celebrity Judge choice Zest’s triple meat chili and people’s choice Mister Lee’s Noodle’s Korean Chili.
