I like chili with beans. I grew up kinda poor with immigrant parents from soviet bloc upbringing, so they raised me to take what I can get. Seasoned American food took some getting used to, and spicy dishes even longer. When I moved to Denver, the ubiquitous smothered green chili was a culture shock, but i learned to enjoy it. I'm a born and bred New Englander. When I got my first apartment I would buy dented Hormel chili cans on clearance at the Big Y I could walk up the hill to and use free vending machine sized Fritos bags from work as salty scoops. I'm glad I wasn't too far off the mark. Chili really isn't a cultural thing up here in the northeast. I'd dump a can of black beans or kidney beans in the Hormel to extend it, and grew to prefer it that way. I also have a soft spot for Spaghetti-O's and that brick of frozen Tina's bean and cheese burritos.

Sorry, but that chili does not look appetizing to me. and I live in Austin. I think all the food places that come here make it sound like this place is the end all and be all of food, when it isn't. I think Dallas and Houston have better food and more variety of foods than Austin. Austin has the cooler vibe with nicer people and scenery, but if you are foodie, don't buy into the food hype for this place because the food is not all that. My and my cousin's two cents. :)

I used to work with a butcher from Texas. he was the quintessential Texan. About 6 foot tall and maybe 375 pounds. His name was Tiny. He introduced me to Texas chili. Beef, chopped course, and spices. Cooked slow in a countertop roasting oven. Like a large slow cooker. No tomato. No beans. Maybe onions and garlic. and spices.

I've never quite understood this obsession with chili in Texas where they don't use beans. My folks and I were born and raised in Texas, but my mom still loved putting beans in her chili and I loved the hell out of it and when she made corn bread to go along with it, it was damn delicious.

Most of my family is from Texas and my son lives in Austin, Tx right now. Funny thing is he prefers Chili w/ beans and LOVES putting cornbread in it. He also prefers Tri-Tip over Brisket. I guess you could say he's a rebel, but truth be told, he's spot on. lol

A couple of questions. If you're back at that restaurant and you order one Chili, which one will it be? Double-X, or Triple-X? After the video shoot did you want to finish one of those samples? I mean not just a test of spice level, but an actual meal?

Sorry guys. but I have to be honest. I've seen a few videos with this host and I have to say he's kind of dull. He looks bored most of the time, like he just woke up.
