October – the month of fall foliage, pumpkin spice lattes, apple picking and of course…chili. For Parallel employees, the annual chili cook-off isn’t taken lightly, and is one of the most cherished events of the year. Each business unit teams up to try to create the best chili in town, along with the most eye catching decorations. We bring in “professional” judges to taste each chili and score each pot based on execution, appearance, and taste. Although all of the chili’s were incredibly delectable, the chili trophy goes to team “Hog-n-Cows” for their award winning recipe! Congrats to the winning team…although, let’s be honest – everyone’s a winner at the chili cook-off!
