ISO: ISO Marilyn FL.....Thought of you today when I found this - Todd English Prime Rib Chili....

In Search Of:
I'm gonna chip in on this one

A. Why in the world would you use expensive meat in chili?
B. Beans don't belong in chili, but I'll be darned if I spent the money on prime rib and then used canned beans in it.

 
Gotta hop on that platform with Melissa. I'm shocked and appalled (appalled AND shocked) at the

prolification of beans in most of these recipes.

Anyone interested in making an authentic "bowl of red" would slice off their own arm and put that into the pot before adding beans. Now, beans ALONGSIDE . . . well, that's another matter. I'm just sayin'. (Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.)

 
I think it is a regional thing. I have c clairborne's book and made his chili... VERY good. BUT,

missing the beans : )

I seriously have never had chili in a local restaurant w/o the beans, corn is an added surprise.

I think it is a geographical thing

BUT, having said that.... Do you put anything on your chili?

We do not serve over rice.... Just a big bowl w/ lots of fun stuff on top....

Fun to see learn the tweaks that everyone incorporates.

 
No, nothing on top. Just a bowl of chili & some saltines. Or a tortilla.

Beans are o.k. on the side. I know it is regional. As far as Texans are concerned a lot of what passes for "chili" in some other parts of the country is spaghetti sauce with a little chili powder in it.

 
NOTHING ON TOP!! : ) Seriously? No fixins? No tomato? No Grated cheese? No sliced red

onions? No scallion sliced? Now I am shocked!! : )

Wait.... No Fritos!!! : )

(That is only when I make it, restaurants do not put fritos out)

Funny how a popular meal is made and served so differently.

 
Ah, this contest definitely isn't worth Prime Rib.

And I was going to add some Tijuana Flats black beans, but now...you guys have me wondering....
