Ron Meyer, of Whittemore, serves up a cup of chili to Dan Meyer, of Fenton. Ron and Ellen Meyer competed in the Whittemore Chili Cook-Off Saturday. Their theme was “Wendy’s Finger-Free Chili,” which was inspired by a 2005 news story about a woman who claimed to have found a severed human finger in a cup of soup from the national fast food chain.
