Where's the BEEF!!??
« on: February 12, 2010, 03:57:07 PM »

Okay, so Southern Texas is having it's first winter season down around these parts in quite some time as I understand it. Now I for one am enjoying the cooler weather. And it's partly because around this time of year I am a big fan of eating chili. In fact I make a pretty mean northern chili from time to time.

However, I want to try this Texas style of chili with all the beef instead of hamburger and beans, Texans are always raving about. Yet everywhere I've gone for lunch and such which offers a chili on their menu, is just more of the same ground hamburger!?

Where the hell is this Texas chili with BEEF!  :cuss:

Could it be that Houston isn't really a part of Texas??  :c

I like chili over rice. I've been in Texas most of my life and can't tell you where to go to get the mythical "Texas Chili". I think it is mostly homade.  By the way YOU DON"T PUT BEANS IN CHILI !  :boxing: :pot:

You need to go to a chili cook-off. You can't win a cook off in Houston with beans.

You can get a good bowl of chili fron the "Texas Chili Parlor" on Lavaca St. in Austin. Although, it would be a pretty good ride for you to come over here and get it.

I remember being told once that Texas chili was made with chopped beef steak instead of ground hamburger.

Was I told wrong?

You were probably told by a yankee so I'm sure it goes back to some legend.  Kinda like how we don't have automobiles in Texas, just horses.

:redcard:[color=green. No, not so much now but old timers used chunky beef!  Then there was a chili grind meat that was a course grind, and now with all the super markets in big stores hamber is the most common.  I am about to buy a beef. I think I will ask for some chili meat and chili grind. When I do my venison that is how I grind my meat!! You were not misled!!!!!   Ride Safe Ride Long.    Come to Turkey Roost Camp Out and we will make some!!!!
