Alright, alright, everybody settle down.

The annual Park Manager's Lodge $50 chili cook-off will be this weekend.

And, as always, the cost of your ingredients cannot be more than $50.

Day one will be an elimination round, and day two,

finalists will compete in a no-holds-barred arena match.

Celebrity chef Sean Ben Pimento will judge.

Oh, man.

The winner will get the undivided respect of the entire land!

Respect?

I want to enter.

Vincent, no!

Gene wins every year.

Eh, let the apprentice enter.

Not like he's gonna beat me.

Let's have a preemptive celebration in Gene's honor.

I gotta win this chili cook-off.

So, I saw my fifth grade teacher at the grocery store yesterday.

What?

Hey, guys.

Hope you saved room for chili.

Oh, right.

For the competition.

It was tough staying under 50 bucks, but I did it.

Dig in.

So?

It's good.

Yeah, it's good.

It's good.

Okay, it's good.

Yeah, it's not bad.

You said good before.

Yeah, it's fine, Vincent.

You said not bad before.

It's cafeteria level at best.

Ah, if I only could use a Jade phantom pepper.

I used to come across them when I studied abroad in Venezuela.

It's spicy and sweet, with hints of lavender.

It made any chili go from regular to muy bonito.

Benson, you know the Jade phantom pepper is muy expensivo in the States.

It costs 20 grand.

You gotta work with what you got.

That's the whole point of this contest.

You're right.

If Gene can do it, I can do it.

Guys, you guys!

Dude, we're trying to work here.

I know, I know.

Just try my chili.

Oh, it's pretty good.

Yeah.

Award winning good?

Maybe?

Not good enough!

You guys!

Benson, we're trying to sleep.

Just try this one last bite.

Ah!

Oh.

Oh, wow.

Benson, this might be the best chili I've ever had.

Really?

Great.

That's perfect.

Now to get some sleep before the competition.

Wow.

There he is.

There who is?

Celebrity Judge Sean Ben Pimento.

He's coming this way.

Scatter!

Hello, Mr. Ben Pimento.

It's an honor to meet you.

He's saving his vocal cords for the announcement.

Oh.

Say no more.

Hmm.

So, how'd it go?

I... I think he liked it.

That's awesome.

Because I think he likes jeans, too.

Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.

Hmm.

I need you guys to do me a favor.

Can you steal me a cup of jeans chili?

On it!

Ha, ha!

But you get where I'm coming from.

Hey!

I know exactly what you're up to.

Uh, what's that?

You're here to try some of my world-famous chili.

Go right ahead!

There's plenty for everyone.

Thanks.

See you, Gene.

So?

Spicy and sweet.

With hints of lavender.

What?

Gimme that.

Jade phantom pepper.

And now, Judge Sean Ben-Pimento to present our competitors for tomorrow's final round.

Ahem.

Gene.

And Andrew Aronson.

Yay!

Woo!

All right!

Yes!

This is me!

Andrew Aronson!

Uh, wait, wait.

We just got a random price test back from our labs, and

it looks like Andrew Aronson's chili is over budget.

At $51.20!

He is disqualified.

You disgust me.

Take him away!

But I... What?

I... Well, I guess we'll have to go with our next runner-up.

Uh, m-m-mister Ben-Pimento?

If I had to choose a third option, I suppose I would begrudgingly select...

...him.

Thank you.

Thank you.

But while I appreciate this honor, we have a cheater among us!

Your chili cost more than $50, Gene.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Where's your proof?

I... I don't have any.

You got here in a technicality, apprentice.

Just smile and bring your mediocre chili tomorrow.

Mediocre?

You did not make a $50 chili!

And I'll prove it!

Those peppers have got to be in here somewhere.

Huh?

I bet there's a receipt for those peppers in here.

Come on, come on.

Where's the receipt?

Park Manager's Lodge.

Two trillion dollars?

That's how he can afford all those peppers.

The stems.

Vincent!

What are you doing in my office?

I'm on to you, Gene.

I know what you've been doing.

I see.

You know all about it, then.

Yes, I do.

You've been using the Jade phantom and I've got the stems to prove it!

What?

Cheating is no laughing matter, Gene.

This is a $20,000 pepper.

For you, maybe.

You see, I've been growing these babies myself.

So, technically, they're free.

What?

It takes ten years to raise each one and I've been growing them my whole life.

Why do you think they cost so much?

Oh.

Well, wait.

Then what are you doing with two trillion dollars in lodge money?

High-level lodge business.

Now get out of my house, Benchin!

So, he's still gonna use that pepper and I'm always gonna lose to Gene.

Well, what do you have that Gene doesn't?

I don't know.

But whatever it is, it's gonna have to be

something that nobody's put into chili before.

Of course!

A chili contest winner shows a mastery of tomato, bean, and spice.

The defending champion!

The goober who embarrassed himself.

And me, Sean Ben.

Pimento!

Welcome to my world of chili!

For 60 minutes of the clock!

Ready...

Set... Regino!

Benson getting his start looking a little frazzled.

Gene going for his patented Jade phantom peppers.

And I, of course, mean that literally!

He literally has the patent!

Oh!

What's Benson doing?

Gene, of course.

Breaking no sweat.

Benson feeling the pressure.

Gene not concerned at all!

I just loved your Christmas card.

Oh!

The wife thought the antlers would be funny.

For Benson, with mere minutes remaining, any distraction could mean disaster!

So what is this you're making?

Let me look at it in the light.

Yeah!

I got it!

Oh!

What's this?

This thing I'm touching with my unwashed finger.

What is that?

It's... Oh jeez!

Somebody get him a new knife!

Five minutes!

Gene is just running down the clock at this point.

I need more wings!

Thirty seconds.

Remember, if the chili isn't plated, the contestant is disqualified.

That's it!

Gene's done!

Ten seconds left.

Ten!

Nine!

Eight!

Seven!

Six!

Five!

Two!

One!

Zero!

I suppose he technically plated it.

Time is up!

Yeah.

one!

And now I would begin the tasting.

Excellent aroma.

Mm.

Mm.

Gene, you have presented this wonderful chili for ten years...

...and still I am surprised and refreshed.

Thank you, Chef.

Chef Benson.

Interesting presentation.

This is... incredible.

What is this flavor I'm tasting?

This tang.

Uh, chicken wings, Mr. Ben Pimento.

How novel.

I must have a second bite.

Oh, go ahead, please.

Hmm.

What is this?

Uh, it's a chicken bone.

I ran out of time, so... Hmm.

You have given me a lot to think about.

And now, time for the final dieting!

Jean, you gave me a reinvention of an all-time classic.

Bursting with exotic aromatic herbs.

Benson, your chili provided a red-hot tang.

All together new to me, but it contained inedible elements.

So... I'm sorry to say, Jean, you have won.

Yes!

Aww... Many years in the past, but not this year.

Benson wins!

You're all right, Dunwoody.

Yeah!

Yeah!

Oh, yeah.
