FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[Comparison Ford]

I don’t know where you guys are getting your spicy CFA sandwiches where they’re bland. I actually made a point to stop and acknowledge how it was very juicy and flavorful for its price point the last time I had one.

It’s better than the Popeyes sandwich by a decent margin and it blows the other comparably-priced sandwiches out of the water IMO.

Dinner

 

[solewoman]

Entered my first food competition. A chili cook-off in bmore. Didn’t win but some of the people’s reactions were priceless. Was offered to buy the rest of the chili and suggested to go on the food network several times. The guy that won was apparently featured on diners drive inns etc or something like that.

Chili was made with 3 meats and 3 chilis.
Smoked brisket
Ground beef
Hickory smoked bacon

Serrano
Jalapeño
Ancho chili

Shout out B Sox came thru and supported.

If anything the spicy has the opposite problem. Spice blend is salty and very distinct

Sometimes I'm not so sure it's the ideal flavor of a chicken sandwich

solewoman , much love and respect on entering that contest. I know how secretive yall competitive cooks are but if you could share at least the bare bones version of your chili dish we would appreciate it. No disrespect.

waste of time for a piece of candy

He was looking for this

I hear there’s a big debate on whether beans belong in chili or naw

What’s the consensus of da thread?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Throw those beans in the chili.

He'll, I prefer a combination of multiple types of beans.

Black + Kidney being the elite combo.

 

[DeadsetAce]

beans belong

 

[Comparison Ford]

If I’m eating something like a chili dog where the chili isn’t the star? No beans.

If the chili is the star? Throw those damn beans in.

I like a combo of black and kidney beans with some of that residual bean juice to thicken it up.

 

[B Sox]

Hot dog chili is meat sauce.

Actual chili is meat stew. Beans are welcome!

 

[mplsdunk]

I respect both.

 

[shogun]

I don't like the beans but without them you're left with a ground meat stew.

 

[Mark Antony]

Some lowkey flavors that could put something over the edge but folks may never know:

Nutmeg
smoked paprika
fish sauce
coconut milk
Bay leaves
Bone broth (making it)
Scotch bonnet (the flavor more than the spice)

 

[jape]

do y’all like sour cream on your chili?

 

[mplsdunk]

Nah, cheese would set that off.

 

[B Sox]

do y’all like sour cream on your chili?

Don’t need it, but not opposed to a little if it’s there.

 

[Master Zik]

I've never ate chili without beans in it.
