While traditional chili is made with ground beef, variations -- either geographic or by personal preference -- may substitute different types of meat (or go meatless) and can also include tomatoes, beans, or other ingredients, be slightly spicy or Knock Your Socks Off HOT!
The name "chili con carne" is a variation of the Spanish chile con carne, which means "peppers with meat." Chili con carne is the official dish of the state of Texas and can be found worldwide in local variations.
Naturally, Bethlehem has its special versions of the dish.
From bananas, to chocolate, to beer and all types of sausages, the ingredients in the chili up for judging reflect a heap of creativity. Many restaurants have made their signature dishes for years; others are mixing it up with some new twists. Back again with its signature Ho Chorizo Chili will be the Tally Ho and not to be missed is De Ja Brew’s Chili Davis. A perennial favorite is Cindy’s Vegetarian Chili ladled up at Godfrey Daniels.
