Chasen's Chili Recipe

I've read for years how Elizabeth Taylor used to have Chasen's chili sent to locations all over the world. I figured it must be amazing chili and and I'm thinking about making it from this recipe. Except....it doesn't really look that much different from run-of-the-mill chili recipes. Has anyone tried it?

It's got beans so it can't be that good.

We used to go to Chasen's a lot when I was in LA for work in the 80's and 90's before they closed. They used to serve Chasen's chili on TWA flights, too.

You can still buy the chili at the original location - it's just not Chasen's any more. It's a Bristol Farms supermarket now.

You mean Chanston Burttigeg?

How does it compare with Gelson's potato salad?

Hmm looks kind of basic but I'd try it

It's just tomato chili, my mother and many others made chili just like this, but Liz was a British woman so it makes sense.

Elizabeth had her extravagances.

There is absolutely nothing special about that chili recipe.

[quote] but Liz was a British woman so it makes sense.

She only lived in Britain until age 7 with her American parents

I read this as Chasten’s chili.

Poot, poot, poot, Dahling!

Tomatoes and beans? Not chili.

Liz had it flown in for one reason- because she could.

I made it once but I had to add ketchup in my bowl. Chili must be a little sweet, as with anything using canned tomatoes. My go to for years was Perdenales River Chili by LBJ. But I always add other stuff to it.

R13 speaks the truth. This had very little to do with the chili and a whole lot to with exercising star power.

Uh, that ain't bonafide chili, podnuh.

This gunk is nearly as stupid as that concoction that Cincinnati has the temerity to call "chili."

I made chili today - lazy method

1 lb ground beef

1 yellow onion - or less, depending on size

1 15 oz can tomato sauce

1 15 oz can stewed tomatoes

1 15 oz can kidney beans which I drain and rinse

garlic or garlic powder to taste, same with chili powder

salt and pepper

Cook beef and onion, when done add the other ingredients. Simmer for 15 minutes.

I never cared if it’s “real” or not. I don’t want to eat a pile of greasy meat highly seasoned. How boring. I like Tex-Mex better than any authentic Mexican dish too.

Darling, after awhile you get tired of a drunk Richard Taylor trying to climb on top of you with his tiny, uncut Welsh cock.

Chili is the perfect solution for that. Obnoxious fumes out the front, obnoxious fumes out the back.

Richard BURTON! God, I’m so drunk.

Liza, do you have any more of that good stuff? Tell Michael to get in here and get his damn chimp off my caftan.
