World Chili Cook-Off To Feature Bean Recipes

For many a moon, Chili has been known for it's scrumptious variety of meats, spices, and beans. But there are some Chili purists who would like to disagree. Chili purists are known for their love of chili and their hatred for the beans that go in the chili. Now the International Chili Society, ICS, is allowing beans in their chili for the World Chili Cook-Off and their is a major upset throughout the chili loving population of the world. This year, there will be a bean optional category at the cook-off and it is safe to say, people are not happy. It is believed with the new category, all competition will be crushed. While purists state the beans are just a filler, others disagree when saying the beans do belong in their community. Last year's ICS Chili Cook-Off, John Jepson, is entering in both bean and no bean categories, and he thoroughly believes the debate will never end.
