WDP’s 3rd Annual Chili Cook-Off!

Double, double, toil and trouble. Chili turn and Crock-Pot bubble. . .

This Tuesday, WDP staff eagerly gathered for the 3rd Annual Chili Cook-Off! Halloween cauldrons were pushed to the side as simmering Crock-Pots filled the kitchen for a fierce competition. . . Michelle Roy, P.E., was ultimately crowned the Chili Chef Champion with Darryl Keating, P.E., claiming second place by a narrow margin.

Needless to say, it was a very triumphant evening for our Geotechnical Engineering Division. Congrats to the winning Chefs!
