One night the pipes are frozen, and the next day we're wearing shorts and eating Bluebell. It may be hard to plan where to go out to eat, but there's always a go-to meal you can count on - a big bowl of chili, soup or gumbo.

From seafood gumbo at Shipwreck Grill, to steaming hot chili at the Dixie Chicken, Bryan/College Station has dozens of options for you.

I like the chili at McAlllisters and Newks.

More of a Wendy's fan, myself.

Been a while since I been back, but M-Beauxs for gumbo

Most any place that knows beans, tomatos, and chili powder don't belong in chili.

YES!!! To bad it is not still around, that was the real stuff. Nothing else in this wonderful numb palate town is worth a damn.

I absolutely love chili elitism. It is so classy.

It is ****ing meat and gravy. How sophisticated can it be?

Pretty much. It's all poor people food. It was created because it's all people had and it lasted several meals. It's why I also laugh at people in New York who pay $90 a plate for an "authentic" Ethiopian dish, or the like.

Exactly. And "real" chili and porridge and stew and gumbo are all basically from the same recipe:

What is left over from that animal (dog, horse, cat, coyote, alligator, snake, squirrel, rabbit, etc) that we just can't eat without seasoning it so much that we can't taste it? Oh, that piece of gristle just outside the *******? Throw that in the pot with the horse eyeballs and the pig ***** from last week. Make sure you put a lot of those hot ass peppers in it. I don't want to taste the eyeballs again.

Thats "real" ****ing chili/gumbo/stew.

Hey bro.

Chile out of a can? With beans? Might as well put tofu in it.

Do you guys dress like women?

Because arguing about recipes is the standard of manliness.

It's the off season, we have to argue about anything and everything.

Hebert's!!!

They introduced me to real cajun when I was back at school. It is hard to find anything worthwhile in Dallas though, so now I make my own.

Recipes? Getting a can opener to open a CAN of chili is arguing about recipes?

Beans in chili? That's a recipe debate? That's not even a debate.

It's absolutely a recipe debate. What a beta male post.
