Chili is always an intimidating thing for me to make due to people’s chili allegiances. Similar to ribs, people have serious beliefs on what chili should be: beans, no beans, beef only, etc. It can get a little crazy so I’m always a bit hesitant to make it for fear of causing a chili feud. [...]

One of the odd things about running a food website is that it means you get to celebrate each major holiday twice. This meant that Bets and I celebrated Valentine’s Day a week early so I could share the meal with all of you. Lucky you. We’ll do something else on the real V-Day that [...]
