You use the word 'chef' pretty loosely. And yeah I would bet that anyone that makes that crap would be and obamamite.

Chili very well may have a broad spectrum of interpretaion, but if it has beans, its beans with meat, not chili. Thats actually chili bean soup! And pretty tasty in its own right. New Years Eve noisemakers below. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> JScottRupp's chili looks pretty darned "TASTY" to me !~!~! Of course, I hope those "green things" in that chili are HOT green chilies and NOT green bell (aka "sweet") peppers!!! Strength & Honor... Ron T.

Chilli with beans...
Chilli without beans...
Texas bbq
Memphis bbq
North Carolina style BBQ
South Carolina style BBQ
Personally they're all crap except chilli WITH beans and NORTH CAROLINA style BBQ.
That said...don't put a plate of any of it in front of me cuz it will disappear fast.
I talk junk but I love good eats and I aint 'grown particular' about what you call it.

I'm up in the rainy country, but I like my chili Texas style. Cubed meat. Species isn't really important. I've used elk, moose, venison, bear and (shudder) beef. Onion Chili powder Garlic Beer-Dos Equis preferred Fresh habanero peppers.* *no wimps allowed in my house. I love to watch people flopping on the floor like a dying fish Chili recipe website: http://www.g6csy.net/chile/chili.html

I have been making my own chili powder.
I buy the bags of dried peppers in the Mexican or produce section of the local grocery stores. Some of the peppers are mild and some very hot; the larger peppers are usually milder. Wash the peppers and then further dehydrate them until they are �crisp� and can be ground. I use the Magic Bullet or coffee grinder. I mix this powder with good paprika and have a good �chili powder�.
This powder is completely different from the stuff sold as chili powders in the stores. The store bought stuff is foul in my opinion, and mostly salt and cumin.
The truth angers those whom it does not convince

I make my own chili seasoning. I do 2 cups chili powder, 1/4C. cumin, and 1/8C. garlic powder. I use 1/4C. of this seasoning to 1or2# of hamburger. I use tomatoes and beans in my brown soup that I call chili. You can just about stand a fork up in it.
FWIW, I've eaten a little of that TX beef chili with no tomatoes or beans. Some was outstanding, and some wasn't fit to eat.

Some years ago, a Mohawk Indian from my rod and gun club married a Nipmuc woman. It was the first time people from each tribe intermarried, and they threw one heck of a wedding. There were 500 people and it lasted 3 days. Imagine half the crowd wearing traditional garb staying in canvas tents. I photographed the wedding and was asked to make venison chili. I was given a pot big enough to set up camp in. I did not have enough of anything. I put all my venison through a grinder. I use the sausage plate with the 2 big holes for coarse grinding. I had a good 50 pounds of meat browning off. I salt and pepper everything so that's in the pot. I added several #10 cans of diced tomatoes. I buy dried chili peppers, usually Anaheims and blitz them in the food processor. I put in a pound bag. I also put in a bag of garlic. I browned off a 10 pound bag of onions and put them in. I put in a bottle of oregano and about a quarter of a bottle of cumin........... I don't like a lot of cumin! I let it cook slowly for several hours and tasted it. It was bland so I went to get another bag of chili peppers.
When I was gone, some A#@ H*#@ decided to add some "piaza" to it and dumped in a bottle of hot sauce. I came back and saw him stirring the pot and if I could have lifted the big SOB, I'd have stuffed him in it. All my venison, all my money for ingredients and all my work and this $#@ who fancies himself a chili expert dumped in a bottle of hot sauce. Everyone said it was hot. I don't make hot chili. There's a bottle of hot sauce on the table. My Mom can eat my chili and that's how it should be. Flavorful, not hot! I won my club's chili cook off the one time they were brave enough to have one and beat the "expert" with the secret home ground and blended spice mix and so on so forth.
I do not like a lot of cumin in my chili. I do not like a lot of beans in my chili. I do not like diced bell peppers in my chili, and I do not like my chili hot. That's what I find I don't like about most of the chili I've had.
