An icon in Tex-Mex cuisine, the origin of chili predates modern American history. Regardless, it's popularity rose when it became a commonly prepared dish in northern Mexico and southern Texas. Now, chili has got quite the following. The International Chili Society (ICS), which has existed since 1967, has sanctioned hundreds of chili cook-offs nationwide, with proceeds, which have now totaled $100 million, going to charities and nonprofits. Outside of contests and cook-offs, there aren't many rules when it comes to making chili. Due to this, there are more than a thousand variations of this dish. Dark chocolate, coffee, adobo sauce, anchovies, and star anise are but few of the hundreds of ingredients that you can add to your own pot of chili.
In true "old school" fashion, chef Jeffery's chili recipe does not have beans of any kind. Some would even go as far as saying that beans should never be added as it makes it bean soup, not chili. As said, there aren't any strict rules when it comes to chili, and chef Jeffrey's recipe is a good foundation for any other chili recipe. That said if you want a taste of old fashioned, "old school" chili, then chef Jeffrey's the place to be.
