The people who voted in this survey picked Wendy's as the best place to get chili. What's wrong with that? Wendy's doesn't even sell real chili! They do have an edible bean soup (which has meat and chili powder in it), and they list that on their menu as chili. But any real Texan can tell you that chili doesn't have beans in it. In fact, if you put beans in your chili at any respectable chili cook-off anywhere in the state, you would be justifiably disqualified.
I simply don't understand this. Either the poll was dominated by out-of-state transplants who don't know anything about chili, or we have a lot of village idiots in this city (a definite possibility, considering the city's voting patterns). Come on people. Wendy's? Really?
Oh, my sweet aching bread basket. Wendy's doesn't even have the best chili in California, for God's sake, and California is a long way from being the state I would go to for chili. I actually would go to New Mexico, but Texas would be my second choice.
ReplyDeleteI would vote for having lots of idiots. I have a father, brother and sister born in Texas, but none of them admitted to it.
