Our new graphic designer, Travis Franklin, recently said, "Wow, you guys sure like to eat together a lot!" And it's true- we do eat together for Friday staff lunches, birthdays, and record breaking months.  And, much like the Pilgrims did, every Thanksgiving about 25 PSB employees gather together in our state-of-the-art conference room and eat homemade chili out of crock pots.  

Here are a few of our favorite recipes from this year's Chili Cook Off, with bread and dessert recipes below!
