“No Bean Team” Bill and Ellen brought their award-winning chili to the New Bridge EMS fundraiser at the Lake Anna Taphouse last November, a friendly and flavorful competition that united their love for community and cooking.
Participating not only supported a great cause but also offered them a chance to showcase their unique recipe in a spirited, fun setting.
Their secret to victory? It’s all in the details. Their Texas-inspired, no-bean chili is crafted from a family recipe that highlights homegrown peppers and homemade spices, blending the richness of tradition with a distinct Texan kick.
Their advice to aspiring chili champs is simple: make it personal: “Create a chili that reflects your unique taste and is truly enjoyable to eat.”

Hi! I’m Jennifer Bailey and I partner with entrepreneurs who have massive ideas that could change the world. Most marketing is meaningless. Filled with empty promises, its only job is to bring in new traffic, new leads, and new customers. But I’ve drawn a line in the sand, and I’ve learned that marketing can do so much more than reach business goals and build profit. My methods give businesses the fire and soul they need to reach the right people, set the groundwork for sustainable relationships, and offer true value to the people on both the giving and receiving ends of marketing.
