Hollywood-Style Chili
During the golden age of Hollywood, Chasen’s restaurant hosted all manner of stars, from the Rat Pack to Alfred Hitchcock.

Because we lacked the […]
Wendy’s Chili
Dave Thomas, Wendy’s late founder, started serving this chili in 1969, the year the first Wendy’s opened its doors.

But once you've assembled the ingredients, it really is pretty straightforward. I've taken more than a few liberties on traditional chili. I've used […]

It’s September now, which means the start of fall and all things pumpkin and pumpkin spice-related. But, it also means hatch chile season! I’m sure you’ve seen them popping up at your local grocery store for the last little while, at least if you live down South. Their season is short (I think it […]
Crispy Braised Chicken With White Beans and Chile Verde
While I generally limit the repertoire of my explorations to existing dishes in the American and International canons, today we're going a bit off the map with a dish that's in part inspired by the chile verde of the American Southwest, and in part by the white chicken chili that, like some other iconic American […]
