Why is it just high-profile Atlantans featured in the 11 Least Influential? Where’s the recognition for all you normal people who feel impotent every day? Because we feel your pain, the CL team hit the Chomp and Stomp Chili Cook-off in Cabbagetown this weekend to ask everyday Atlantans about their moments of shame.

I have a polite request of the organizers of the Cabbagetown Chomp & Stomp chili cook-off and festival: Please have more chili next year.

Unfortunately, this writer was among the many attendees of the Cabbagetown Chomp & Stomp chili cook-off who arrived too late to actually eat any chili. By the time I got there (2:30pm) all the chili appeared to have been eaten. I’m not mad, but I did go home and make chili afterwards.

Even chili-less, there was plenty to occupy me, including beer (of which there was plenty on tap), bluegrass music (which I suppose is where the second-half the of Chomp & Stomp come from), and sports. The bobbing-for-brussel-sprouts competition was nice – especially the MC’s deadpan comment to competitors reminding them its not necessary to immerse one’s entire body in water to grab the floating veggies.

It being hipster heaven, every second of the event is documented on Flickr.
