Today’s Chef Profile introduces a newcomer to the Hashbrown tradition, Woman Made Gallery. On Saturday, February 28, Woman Made Gallery will be defending their organization with a chili recipe developed by Board President, Tammi Franke. Here is what Woman Made staff Claudine and Sydney had to say when we reached out to see what their bringing to The 2015 Hashbrown Chili Cook-Off:
