Judge Mini-Bios: Allie Lazar, 1st Annual Buenos Aires Chili Cookoff

Allie escaped the mean streets of the Chicago suburbs in 2006 to study abroad in Buenos Aires and never left.  Aside from working a full time job, her hobbies include food blogging, reading food blogs, talking about Argentine ridiculousness, eating, taking pictures of the food she eats, and speaking about herself in the third person.  What makes her a credible chili judge? Her interest in food was sparked at an early age during family trips to the Southwest, when at the chubby age of six years old she began spreading chili jam on her bagels.  Hint: Allie likes her chili spicy.
