There are more than 1-million ways to eat Waffle House’s hash browns (I like mine covered and topped, even at 6 a.m. on Derby day), and there are at least that many ways to make chili, but some fixens should be viewed more with disdain.
Like needing A1 sauce with steak, some things simply mask a chili’s flavor rather than enhance it. Beware of finding you need too much of an additive when considering whether a chili is good.
After all, the process of cooking chili is to find the perfect blend of seasoning and spices. A little of this or that to suit your tastes is fine, but a handful of cheese and a tablespoon of sour cream isn’t really that person’s chili anymore.
It’s like saying you love coffee while pouring a carton of cream and dropping four lumps of sugar into it.
So use the cheese or sour cream or pepper or hot sauce if that’s what you like, but remember to consider the chili itself when voting.
And try them all before voting
