One of the best chilis I ever tasted had a dash of cinnamon added. I try
to remember to add a dash to mine -- not enough to taste of cinnamon,
just to add a little something.

You can do worse than a Wendy's baked potato topped with chili, hot
sauce, and sour cream. You can do better, but you can do much worse!

The best chili tip I ever learned -- brown the chili powder along with
the meat. This releases a lot of flavor.
