EyeSpice is a one-off magazine published in October 2026 by Texas Eye and Laser Center and Texas Eye Surgery Center. This issue is a lighthearted internal newsletter covering the center's annual chili cook-off among staff members.
The document opens with an editor's letter welcoming chili enthusiasts, competitive cooks, and people just there for the Fritos. It describes six crockpots lined up, each with a unique recipe, and staff trading eye charts for scorecards.
A panel of seven eye-care professionals, including Dr. Hu and six optometrists, served as judges. The judging took place in the breakroom with spoons, scorecards, and plenty of opinions. One crockpot, labeled Crockpot #5, made a statement before anyone lifted the lid, leading to a section called Chili-Gate 2026.
The scores are tallied with first, second, and third place winners. The first place winner is revealed on page 10. Crockpot #6 is noted as being scraped clean with nothing left. The issue ends with thanks to all chili chefs, judges, and supporters.
