For hot dog chili, beans add too much bulk. I personally don't mind beans in chili, but I know that the official Chili Cook-off rules from the Peoples Republic of Texas state that "real" chili doesn't have beans.
I judged the northeast chili cookoff a few years ago and I have to say the rules ruin it for me. They can't have it spicy enough for me or they get penalized. everything diced in 1/8" cubes. I much preferred the unjudged pots that were kicked up. Real Chili might not have beans, but the beans make it a hardy meal. let me put a few of my scotch bonnets in that for you
Good point. Hot dog chili is the chili or sauce made to go on a hotdog which is in a bun. It is the only ingredient in a chili dog in this part of the country. (A chili dog has no frankfurter around here. Does everywhere else.)
My history with chili is confusing, so I didn't know how to answer your questions. My mother made broth-y, overly vegetable-ed, Weight Watchers chili with ground turkey. *shudder* As an adult, I make my own chili with ground beef, beans, and veggies - green peppers, onions, mushrooms, and diced tomatoes. I like it thick and hearty and served with cheese on top. NOM NOM NOM.
There are many, many locations...sadly none near you. Mostly surrounding LA, but two in Vegas. And one two blocks from here. As soon as I get my clothes out of the dryer...chomp!
I'm all about the #3 (single burger with no cheese), with chili on the fries and a Mug root beer. $6.20 of pure orgasmic burger goodness.
