Chili Cook-off @ Schneiderman's


Some fun facts about chili. I am not sure how much you can read, but chili originated in San Antonio, Texas. Jails were rated by the chili that was served to the inmates. Equal amounts of meat and peppers were used. Chili was a meal that was used by the poorest of people. Chili Queens were latino women who would make chili at home and serve it at the Military Plaze (The Alamo) for about 200 years. It was very fascinating to learn some new facts. Unfortunately my battery for my camera went dead and I was not able to capture any more photos.
