Good lookin recipes. Just like I like it. Tomato based. I was looking last year for a good Chili recipe and was very surprised to see most competition recipes are a beef broth base with as little as 1 can of tomato added. Between that and no beans I was shocked :eek:

Oh and what's up with that Cincinnati style? Cinnamon, huh?

All comments made in good fun. Hopefully I have not offended anybody's Chili beliefs. :D

Cinnamon in Chili is for those people who can't take the acid from the tomatoes..
It cuts it down for some reason.
