Souper Bowl Cook-Off Recap
The BoomXers Souper Bowl Cook-Off on Sunday, February 1, was a huge hit, bringing together great food, friendly competition, and Super Bowl spirit with more than 160 neighbors in attendance. Sixteen talented community chefs served up a delicious variety of soups, stews, gumbos, and chilis—many adding festive décor and themed outfits to match their dishes.
A panel of celebrity judges—Chef Michael, Edward (F&B Director), Linda and Reid (HOA Board Icons)—awarded first, second, and third place, while attendees voted for the People’s Choice Award. Kim Schnitzer was the big winner, taking both First Place and People’s Choice for her Hotsy Totsy Creamy Chicken Soup. Second place went to Susie Sickel for her Crock Pot Chili, and third place to Cindy O’Brien for Cinzia’s Lasagna Italiano Soup.
A big thank-you to all 16 chefs for their creativity and enthusiasm, and special appreciation to Lee Laux and Kathy Laux —for helping to make this fun, flavorful community event such a success.
