Does anyone know if chili is more of a regional food? I was eating some earlier and cannot recall ever hearing about a chili cook-off anywhere but the midwest and Texas.

Not to hijack the thread, but a friend of mine and I were having a debate about whether chili was soup. Any opinions?

They had chili cook offs in the southeast where i used to live.

And I think it is a quasi soup since it is usually grouped with soup on buffets.

We have cook-offs way up here in SD, so I assume they are everywhere.

And I consider it a soup, unless it's on fries or something. I love chili.

I think it could be a stew or a soup, depending upon how you make it.

Chili is great in bed.

Plus, if the bowl spills while you're sleeping, it won't set the bed on fire.

That's what I'm talking about.

I knock Steak N Shake when I get the chance on these boards, but I will say that their chili is the best I've ever tasted. And it's a good question about the soup or stew -- Rachael Ray would call it a "stoup." LOLOL.

I just never hear of people in anywhere but this part of the country liking it. I've heard quite a few New Englanders remark that it just looks disgusting.

I believe you are my polar opposite. I love Steak-N-Shake, but their chili is decidedly mediocre.
