Also their "test kitchen" recreates all the foods in the bracket so it might be interesting to compare their recipe to the ones on the wiki.
Down 218-183 right now. Let's go Marquette.
Bump, yeah, let's win this.
You don't need to vote for all 32 groups .. just half way down, vote for Real Chili.

Yes, you can. Just like Chicago.
The frickin ice cream shop in Beckyville has taken the lead.
Scoopers, vote early, vote often.
I voted a few times in a row and the tally for Marquette didn't change.
Down by 300 to effin ice cream. Ya, effin ice cream.
Get up off your duffs and vote. Call your mom, have her vote. Call your plumber....you get the drift.
Effin ice cream

Didn't you hear about them getting destroyed by french fries in a closed door scrimmage back in October?
Buzz to Texas (chili)
We are in the lead...but with a narrow margin. Looks like two more days of voting.
Leg's nice job with your plumber. Time to have the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker vote too.
Effin ice cream....
Another amazing come from behind victory today. The Marquette really poured it on at the end though beating Bo's craptacular ice cream 5102-3167. Way to stuff the ballot box.
Sweet 16 voting starts now and runs through 3/26. Going up against Fordham University's Pugsley Pizza's Chicken Rolls

same, again. about 150 down.
Me, too. Cripes, they wouldn't let me vote more than once. Contest must NOT be based in Chicago.
Use the private browsing feature for Chicago-style voting.
I'm walking down to Real Chili for lunch in a few minutes. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
..............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Delicious.
That should tide me over until halftime.
Now, keep voting--we've pulled into a slight lead over Kansas!
Up 48 to 52%
Just the other weekend I went to Real Chili after a night on Kilbourn (Ill let you guess the detail) and had a real cool experience. About midway through my meal 3 alumni walked in had their chili and then one guy proceeded to pay for everybodys chili in the place. Just thought it was a nice story to share and I would love to do the same once im an alum.
Just voted....again!
Well we couldn't get it done Saturday but The Marquette lives to fight on. Final Four and matched up against some burger from Kentucky which will probably be vacated a few years from now anyway.
Down by just over 1000 votes already. Voting runs through Wednesday at 3 pm eastern.

Just voted but we have some catching up to do!
nice review/correction by Tom W. Someone needs to send the cooking channel a better picture, The Marquette ain't no high class meal served in a fancy dish. If the bowl is newer than 1986, it ain't Real Chili.
Only down 745 now. Let's go MU.

Looks like we have some catching up to do...only 21 hours left!
Seriously, how are you guys voting more than once?
I've tired opening new windows in private browsing .. does not work, and will say something like "we've already counted your vote."
Then I switched IPs .. it counted one new vote. Opened the link in incognito mode .. immediately said my vote had already been counted. Opened IE (which I'd never used to vote) and it said my vote had already been counted. That proves its NOT cookie based.
So to those of you who are voting multiple times .. are you sure they are being counted?
From my tests, it would appear it's one IP, one vote. Which honestly, isn't that hard to code, from the poll website perspective.

Don't know. I vote everyday, so maybe it is on a 12 hour cooldown? or 24?
Real Chili is up now.

Who is Baylor's biggest rival? Someone get on their board and tell them to join up with us...
UPDATE: According to wikipedia, its TCU
Let's all be honest...BBQ food > Chili.

They said we were only in the finals because Baylor voted for us to smite Kentucky, so maybe we'll get some help from them to get revenge on Baylor.
