Faithful to the regional nature of chili, Stephanie Anderson tracks the tradition through five regions of North America: Northeastern, Midwestern, Southern, Western, and Canada.  Within each region, diners and restaurants that are famous for their chili are featured.  Fifty eating establishments are highlighted and their own distinctive chili recipe revealed and recreated for the home cook.  The variations of chili are broad ranging and fascinating reading.  This book has everything you need to become a well-rounded chilihead!
