uncle d’s chili
(3 ratings)
This recipe is from a man called Uncle Denny. He had a club called The Blue Angel, which had a lab downstairs where he mixed bootleg liquor with legal liquor. He knew how to get the most out of anything. He's been credited with watering down mustard, not giving lids or straws on cups and telling people he was out of napkins when he had a whole supply stashed away.His absolute best was when a cook was ready to pitch something, he'd look at it and say, "put it in the chili".
