If you try anything in Texas it’s got to be a big bowl of our world-renowned Texas chili. If you’ve always had a thing for spicy food, this is the real deal. You might even say it’s love at first bite. For those of us who grew up eating the stuff, it’s the perfect savory blend of ground beef and seasonings, and our love affair with it continues on into adulthood, where we’ve even hatched plans for entire weekend-worthy events around it. Chili cook-offs in Texas lead many to discover this rich, well-seasoned dish that their dreams are made of, while also giving us the opportunity of crowning some earnest individual with the title of king or queen of Texas chili.
