My Muey Bueno Chili is better than any TX version (in fact it's better than
any version anywhere) ... can include beans or not. I've been to chili
cook-offs and tasted the various versions including first place, none were
any better than canned, most much worse, some so hot may as well simply chew
a habanero for all you'll taste, the texter and color wre all wrong,
actually disgusting, like someone forgot to flush... I wouldn't even call
those bowls of slop chili, none were better than what I remember from grade
school lunch room chow, in fact that was better than the typical first place
cook-off winner. The reason most chili sucks is because folks are not
willing to put in the time.... my recipe is no secret, been posted many
times... but yoose gotta be willing to work at it ALL day.
