Our Roxbury Rotary Club held it 2nd Annual Cook-Off competition at the Shore Hills country club in Landing, New Jersey on Sept, 16. This year the food being judged was Chili.

Joined by some absolute legends of judges in the area we had Pastor Tom Gildea from REDEEMER Lutheran Church, we had Robert Miller co-owner of Mount Freedom Printing and Stephen Berlen, a very accomplished Insurance agent.
We had a musical performance by the great John Nutile. We also had a program and request for funding from our former Interact President Julia Kest and her friend Laura from Rowan University.
While my chili did not win, that honor went to Mark Johnson of our club. My chili was delicious and completely gone by the end of the night.
We also got to meet our friends and owners of Get Smoked barbecue, a new barbecue company in our area. Freddy and his fiancé Ashley brought us some delicious pulled pork and smoked wings which were to die for. Please give them a look if you’re looking for a barbecue company for a party.
