Gotta be a thousand different recipes for "chili" by now, but some folks gotta argue about what's right.
Chili is as regional as dialect, as is BBQ (in all its different spellings).
I've had chili - and BBQ - made many different ways, but I'll pass on adding cheese.
Right. I see chili kinda like gumbo, spaghetti, or any other dish with a whole bunch of stuff going on.
It's a dish that has many ingredients that are meant to compliment one another. It's either good or it ain't.
I (personally) don't give a rat's a$$ about what's "traditional" or "Texas", etc...
It just has to be good.
