10 years of America’s #1 pot of importance. I said it before, and I’ll say it again: Chefs are psychopaths, and you can look it up. Stay. Away. On the other hand, home cooks are sweet and cool, and you can trust them. You should party with them, because they are never stinkazoidical. Let’s turn off the TV and ask: who’s really actually more awesome? Perfect home chili freaks, or some guaranteed-totally-awful person on the Food Channel?
Chili Takedowns have morphed into bacon, cookie, salsa, jerky, mac and cheeze, curry, avocado, fondue, tofu, lamb Takedowns- but the Chili TD has always been GOD OF SEX for you. I’d write more, but I’m numb with love. Also jetlagged, and I think my brain is smaller tonight… doy!
