Chili con carne is the original chili. Call it Texas red, traditional red, or bowl of red, but don't even think about adding beans if you want to cook chili like a true Texan.

Historians generally consider San Antonio, Texas, chili's birthplace but can only speculate about how exactly the stew-like dish developed. We do know that it spread across the United States soon after it anchored a Texas exhibit at Chicago's 1893 World's Fair.

Ohio: Cincinnati Chili This isn't Texas chili: Macedonian immigrants to Cincinnati came up with the recipe in the 1920s, drawing on the Mediterranean and Slavic influences of their home. What really sets Cincinnati chili apart, however, is serving as a topping over spaghetti. People also enjoy it over hot dogs, called coneys.

CREDIT: ALLRECIPES Key ingredients: Ground beef, tomato paste, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, chili powder, cumin, and (in some recipes) cacao powder

How it's served: Served over spaghetti on a plate; order it "three-way" to add cheese, "four-way" to add cheese and beans or chopped raw onions, or "five-way" to add cheese, beans, and chopped raw onions; eaten with oyster crackers

My dad would always make up a good pot of chili. Beans and beef. Always over rice. Loved it.

He used to make up pintos and beef, too. The best. Both those dishes. Especially on a cold day.

I don’t eat beef and pork for the most part these days, but I’d have to make an exception if he could come back and he cooked those. Yums.

Took my then much younger son to Dixon’s Chili, for Chili Fires, on a cold and snowy January day after we attend the very first TEA Party rally in KC way back when.

Pour a beer in chili while it’s cooking, and flambe it with tequilla when bringing it to the table.
