    My chili would have your child wanting to defect to my Mama.

    By the time my chili was done with your chili, you'd be crawling away, muttering like Yoda in Revenge of the Sith: "Into exile I must go... failed, I have."

    Pfffft. My chili would spank your chili's ass and send it home crying for Momma...

    You're all wrong. By the time my chilli was done with your watered down ketchup, you're would be calling mine "Daddy". :rockwoot:

    Nick's Chili on Lafayette Road is awesome stuff. The area isn't the best but it's the best restaurant chili I've had in Indy. Charlie & Barney's downtown has good chili as well (if they're still open, haven't been in years).

    If that's the sound of a gauntlet being thrown down, then I, sir, accept your challenge.

    Just don't cry when your chili comes in a distant second. :draw:

    When in Cincinatti give Blue Ash Chili a try...best chili I've ever tasted. It's just a hole in the wall in Blue Ash...nothing to look at...but has some good food.

    and John's Famous Stew (where they have spicy stews available).
    John's Famous Stew - Indianapolis, IN

    If you're not in Indy give Roadfood a search for things near your area, (use Google, 'cause their search is right up there with INGO's).

    John's Stew is a great place, even though it's not chili. It looks seedy on the outside, and the inside is an old smokey bar. The stew over a giant tenderloin is some artery clogging goodness. I haven't been there in a couple years.. now I wanna go back.

    You really should be having an Oktoberfest if you're going to be drinking Leinenkugel's. This kind of weather and some chili, I'd much rather have some porter than that fruity pebbles wheat swill. A good dunkelweizen would be a good substitute for the porter.

    Stole this, had to share. For the record I prefer mild chili.

    Texas chili contest
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    If you can read this whole story without laughing then there's no hope for you. I was crying by the end. Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better. For those of you who have lived in Texas , you know how true this is. They actually have a Chili Cook-off about the time Halloween comes around. It takes up most of the San Antonio City Park.
    Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting from Springfield , IL .
    Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's Table asking for directions to the Coors Light truck, when the call Came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted".
    Here are the scorecard notes from the event:
    CHILI # 1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI...
    Judge # 1 -- A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
    Judge # 2 -- Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild
    Judge # 3 (Frank) -- Holy crap, what the hell is this stuff?
    You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two
    beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans
    are crazy.

    CHILI # 2 - AUSTIN 'S AFTERBURNER CHILI...
    Judge # 1 -- Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
    Judge # 2 -- Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be
    taken seriously.
    Judge # 3 -- Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not
    sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off
    two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver.
    They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.

    CHILI # 3 - FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI...
    Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick.
    Judge # 2 -- A bit salty, good use of peppers.
    Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My
    nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm
    getting drunk from all of the beer.

    CHILI # 4 - BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC...
    Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
    Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
    Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but
    was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the beer maid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That
    300-LB woman is starting to look HOT...just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac?

    CHILI # 5 LISA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER...
    Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
    Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
    Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead
    and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind
    me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told
    her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my
    tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks.

    CHILI # 6 - VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY...
    Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili Good balance of spices and peppers.
    Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
    Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I crapped on myself when I farted and I'm worried it
    will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except Sally. I can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my butt with a snow cone.

    CHILI # 7 - SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION CHILI..
    Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
    Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in
    a can of chili peppers at the last moment. **I should take note that I am worried about Judge # 3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
    Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing it's too painful. Screw it; I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.

    CHILI # 8 - BIG TOM'S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI...
    Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
    Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 -- farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. poor feller, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot chili?
    Judge # 3 - No Report

    I agree with the last guy. Chili should have beans and mac. Follow the recipe on the Mexene bottle.
