Lesson Learned

[bbqLuv]

I learned my lesson about beans in Texas Chili
You see, I went into Buster's BBQ, a Texas BBQ restaurant, and I ordered their bowl of chili with BBQ Beans on the side.
I started to mix the BBQ beans in with the Chili. I got caught and was thrown out, 86'ed as it were.
Come to find out it is OK to mix Chili in with beans but don't add beans to Texas Chili.

That’s funny! It’s true chili flavored beans are totally acceptable.

Nuh-uh…. That really happened?

I plead the 5th, or 750ml

🙄 My BS detector just went off. But, it’s a good post. 👍

Hopefully you were able to finish your PBR before hitting the pavement-

You're fortunate that you weren't thrown in jail. Texas Red has no beans......adding beans to chili is heresy in the state. And it should be IMO.

[bbqLuv]

Heresy, I have been advised.

I’m pretty sure a lot of us Texans need to take a chill pill on the subject. Just sayin’.

[WayneT]

Preach Larry! Food is what brings us all together. No sense in letting a few beans come between us regardless of where you find them.

[JeffJ]

I like beans in my chili, so I use beans when I make chili.

Me too.

Some people will make an entire dish out of straight beans yet say you're wrong if you put a few in your chili. Live and let live.
