[Grizzn N Bassin]

[tomustang]

If you have to call them philly chesesteaks they are impostors   I grew up outside philly and haven't found a good one down here in VA yet unless i make them myself by asking the butcher to slice me up some ribeye super thin,

 

And i made just a traditional chili with beans and meat.

You know it's funny you can go to the jersey shore and their philly cheese steak is made with roast beef, then you can go across the country to california and their steak shops serve philly cheese steaks with lettuce tomato and onion. Just saying cheese steak don't cut it if you never had a real one! I go to the source or make my own

[flyfisher]

Yeah that is pretty much a test for me anytime i go to a new place that advertises authentic philly cheesesteaks.  When i order and they ask me if i want lettuce tomato and mayo i say no thanks and order a meatball instead.

 

There is a place that opened up here about a year ago called straight out of philly that is supposed to be the real deal and they get amoroso rolls so they might be worth checking out but i have been heart broken so many times i am not sure it is worth the effort....

 

 All i want is meat, white american cheese and some hot peppers and i am good to go

Never a bad time for chili! We have chili cook offs at work once in awhile. I won the last one on my shift with my dad's chili recipe

Skyway chili, either 3 way or 5 way, some pretty good stuff.

I just finished cooking a pot of my infamous black chili. My wife won't even go in the kitchen while it's cooking.

very good stuff. I use it as the base mix for my chili.

Secret to hot chili is in the meat. After browning and draining the meat, i add pureed jalepenos, the entire bottle of jalepeno juice, cayanne pepper, some red and green chilis with juice, and if im particularly daring that day, some minced habaneros. Let that simmer on low-med for like an hour, stirring occasionally. Let that meat soak up allllllll that juice and heat, then add it to your chili pot with your beans and what not.

I usually have to make two batches, one mild for everybody else, and one my way for myself and the daring.

Poured over some fritos and colby jack cheese, and its perfect. People up here like it with mashed potatoes or pasta. Crazy.

Id really like to find a way to get ahold of some of those ghost chilis one of these days.

Sounds good but a bit warm for me untill the ol body does some healing. When my wife and I went to Scotland for our anniverssary a number of years ago they served chili or game stew over rice. To this day there are times when chili over rice is good. I think they call that chili noodle thing ...chili mac don't they!

Yeah, I was born and raised in Oak Ridge/Clinton area. Lived there until i was 23 and moved to Pittsburgh.

Norris is a really nice lake. Clean water, beautiful scenery, good fishing. Too many people in the summer, I agree. Catch one of those volkswagon sized catfish by the dam yet? Lol.
