Nothing brings EVeryone together like a little friendly (and spicy) competition! Our annual Chili Cook-Off returned this fall, filling the office with delicious aromas, bold flavors, and plenty of team spirit. From red and green to white chili recipes, EVers went all out to showcase their culinary creativity and secret spice blends.
A Feast of Flavor
This year’s lineup did not disappoint — crockpots lined the counters, each with a unique twist on the classic comfort food. Some leaned smoky and savory, others creamy and mild, and a few packed enough heat to make you reach for a glass of milk!
Everyone had the chance to taste, vote, and celebrate their favorites across several categories. After all the bowls were sampled and the votes tallied, our 2025 Chili Champions were crowned:
1st Place Red Chili: Matt Minton
1st Place Green Chili: Maciek Gesikowski

Best Presentation: Rob Plekenpol
A Tradition That Keeps Getting Tastier
The Chili Cook-Off is one of EVstudio’s most beloved traditions — a chance to take a break from projects, share homemade dishes, and enjoy some laughs with teammates. Whether you’re a chili connoisseur or just there for the cornbread, it’s always a fun reminder of how strong (and flavorful) our EVstudio community is.
Thank you to EVeryone who participated, tasted, and voted — and congratulations again to our winners! All the chilis were delicious, and we’re already looking forward to next year’s showdown.
