Quarry Hill Named a Winner in Chili Challenge
Camden, Me., February 15, 2019 – Kudos to Quarry Hill executive chef Scot Pierce for his winning entry in the West Bay Rotary Chili Challenge, held February 9 at 16 Bay View restaurant in Camden.
Pierce’s Oktober Fest recipe took third in a field of 10 concoctions submitted by restaurants and professional kitchens and judged by hungry locals. His recipe for success: a chilblain-chasing blend of bratwurst, sauerkraut, beef, bacon, beans and veggies (plus a generous swig of Sam Adams lager) that tasters said was like Bavaria on a spoon.
West Bay Rotary donates all proceeds from the Challenge, held each year in conjunction with the National Toboggan Championships at Camden’s Ragged Mountain Recreation Area, to local nonprofits. In recent years, it has provided vocational scholarships for students, donated heating-oil funds to area towns for distribution to people in need, and supported caring organizations such as Midcoast Habitat for Humanity, Knox County Homeless Coalition and community food banks.
