A testament of time
For Craig, chili cook-offs have always been about more than just the competition—they’re about the passion for great food and the community around the stove. What started as a hobby fueled by a love for bold flavors turned into years of weekend cook-offs and friendly rivalries. By relying on his own hand-mixed seasonings rather than store-bought shortcuts, Craig developed a signature style that consistently stood out. The awards he’s collected over the years are a nice bonus, but the real prize has always been the journey of refining his craft, one batch of chili at a time.
Meet the Outlaw
It all started with a classic Mother-in-law’s recipe and a mission to find the perfect bowl of chili. Over the years, It was tweaked, tasted, and perfected until it became something truly legendary. While friends and family couldn't get enough, it took some serious convincing to get Craig into the competitive circuit. He finally gave in, and the results spoke for themselves: He walked away with second place in his very first chili cook-off and took home a trophy for first place in his second. After a long string of victories, he knew he had to share the secret. Now a staple of the Craig’s Bearded Blends lineup, Chili Bandido brings that award-winning, Western-style flavor straight to your kitchen. Look for the "Most Wanted" poster on the jar—it’s the seasoning so good, it’s almost criminal.
