Whether you’ve got hearty one-pot meals on your mind right now or you’re planning a Super Bowl party, you’ve come to the right place. On the latest Faith Middleton Food Schmooze®: fantastic chili recipes, both with and without meat. Special guest Robb Walsh, co-owner of El Real Tex-Mex Cafe in Houston and author of The Chili Cookbook shares some fascinating culinary history with us, as well as chili recipes and tips for this soul-satisfying crowd pleaser. Fear not, Vegetarians, Chris Prosperi served the gang a dish worthy of the name “fool ’em chili” and his recipe is linked below. Plus, Alex Province makes a surprising chili-wine pairing and Anthony DeSerio mixes a most alluring Manhattan (it’s smoked!).
