Carroll Shelby & Chili
 
FYI.........

Carroll Shelby was hot stuff in chili world as well as the auto industry - The Washington Post

And here's a slice of history about Shelby and Chili you may not know:

Brinker International Restaurants | Our Company

And if you have ever had Wick Fowler's chili, then you'll see how this all fits in (including Bill Neale):

ICS | International Chili Society

If you want some kick-ass chili, cook up that recipe at the bottom.

Bill Neale told me the story about Larry Lavine starting Chili's restaurants by asking his father-in-law Carroll Shelby for a loan, and Shelby told him something to the effect "okay but don't screw it up with fancy stuff - just serve beer, burgers and fries".

I remember in the early '80s going to the original Chili's on Greenville and Meadow lane in Dallas at least once a week, waiting in a long line if you got there later than 11:30am - and their burgers were HUGE, greasy, cheesy, and the next best thing to heaven on earth. I wonder what CS would think of the place now - its certainly not the same anymore.

No wonder I have loved that resturant!
