Right Gabz - Under International Chili Society rules, beans are verboten in the cookin'. Served on the side at contests (I've won two major Cook-Off's).

Thank you and congratualtions!!!!!

Silly story. A few years ago we entered a chili contest at our local watering hole/restaurant. Another buddy of ours called me in a panic the morning of it because he had fallen asleep the night before and burned his all to hades. he knew we made our chili in a 20 quart stock pot. So I told him to bring me a crock pot and a few cans of whatever beans he had put in his and I would fix him up.

Don't ya know, his chili came in 2nd and mine came in 3rd and the only difference in the 2 crockpots was his had beans and mine didn't.

Maybe the judges had spent just a lot of time at the watering-hole bar and needed the beans to soak up the 'squeezins'!
