A newcomer to the chili cooking sport upset the perennial powerhouse in the 10th annual Exchange Club Chili Cook-Off held Tuesday night at Locust Street Family Life Center.While taking home the coveted award for best chili during the combined contest held between the Evening and Noon Exchange clubs, new champion Ashley Wright admits the chances of being able to recreate her prize-winning recipe will be a challenge."To tell you the truth I don't know if I can do it exactly that way again," Wright said after accepting the first-place award. “It seems I take after my nanny, Mildred Gillentine, in that I don’t use a recipe when cooking most of the time. Sometimes that turns out badly, but most of the time it’s good — especially this time.”
