Central Texas Tolbert Chili Group

Welcome!   Come on in and stay a while! 

Who We Are

Mike "BB" Hughes & Dwight Hamilton BFF

These guys are our trusty leaders.  They are the constant fixtures. Through hard work and determination they've developed a great marketing technique for promoting chili, and sure know how to run a smooth cookoff. 

Both are excellent cooks, and if there is a pause during the announcements, you know that one of them is bound to be digging in his wallet for the winning ticket! 

It's me - Laury McCulloughI'm your webmaster and always available at laury@centraltexaschili.com
