cook's notes
I once went to a chili making contest. There were a lot of good entries and this one was the absolute best. The contest was in NJ, and to chef named this Jersey Devil Chili. Much more involved than most other recipes, but if you want the best chili possible, this is it.

"Absolutely the Best" is a gross understatement! This chili is phenomenal! The only problem I have is all my friends and family are always begging me to make it again. Thank you so much for making this recipe available.
