Chili Convention – for chilifans!

Hot Sauce, Salsa, Stews, frø og meget mere chili.

Kom og få brændt begge ender af, bliv inspireret til, hvordan man bl.a. laver Burning Hot Sauce og Stews med chili. Kendskab til forskellige frøsorter og hvordan de dyrkes og meget mere.

Der er gratis adgang, men ønsker du at få brændt smagsløgene af, er der smagsprøver fra Hells Kitchen på 1 sal, til en billetpris á 30 kr. hvor du så også deltager i lodtrækningen om nogle hotte gaver.

Vores håndbryggeri i kælderen er også åbent og her kan du se, dufte (og måske smage, hvis du tør) øl med chili, som bliver brygget!

And what a wonderful cook-off it was…

Big thanks to everybody who helped make the 2nd annual cook-off a savory success! About 50 people showed up to make sure the 10 delicious stews and two kegs of microbrews were completely devoured. With a half-dozen raffles and four top prize awards, everyone went home a winner. But in another, more accurate way, the following chili stews were the real champs, and it was real close:

4th place: Slim’s slow-cooked Chili Stew
3rd place: Chang’s Mørk Skipper Stew
2nd place: Rune’s Thai Green Goo
1st place: Edu’s Trad.Texas style stew

The mighty Judge Milligan - "My verdict: magically delicious!"

THANKS AGAIN! And we’ll see ya next time.
Who knows…might be a Springtime Cook-Off in the makings, or perhaps next September in Jutland at Bjarne’s farm!

Hey Chili Heads!

The 2nd Annual Copenhagen Chili Cook-Off is right around the corner

Will the Urban Achievers get their own home field?

The first small step has been taken in order to fulfill a dream that the Urban Achievers have had for a long while - to construct their own home field. It is, however, not just any home field, it is the first softball/baseball stadium in Denmark with the possibility for a variety of other sports to use the field. Just to mention a few: ultimate frisbee, petangue, lacrosse and more.

Check out the the first sketch of the field below; an architectural homage to the awe-inspiring mini Coors Field (Coca Cola All-Star Park), Denver, CO.

Prelude

The Summersalt Factory is a new Copenhagen-based collective and a pluralistic playground for ideas, concepts, and initiatives with depth and humor. We try not to limit ourselves – as there are too many interesting sujects to be explored – yet, in time, the main pages of this blog will grow and develop into profound projects full of life, energy, and untimely wisdom.

The blog is constantly under construction… so there’s usually something new to see or read…every now and then. But hang in there with us, ‘cuz the Factory is churning out conceptual somersaults by the hour day.

The Summersalt Factory is:

Sir CeeDub McGriff

BigT HughJohnson

Dr. Boon Dudermensch

Slim J. Douglas

We hope you’ll find pleasure and amusement, fear and awe, misinterpretations and something to reflect upon here at the Factory. But most of all, an open invitation to improvise with this band of outsiders.
