Gildan Bowl Green chile Challenge Winning Recipe
This recipe won the first annual Gildan Bowl Green Chile Challenge recipe contest to benefit a local high school, Sandia High School in Albuquerque, NM. I helped Gildan’s publicity group organize the judging and recipe contest. This was Gildan’s first sponsorship of the bowl game conducted in Albuquerque, NM on December 17, 2011.
