Welcome to the Skillet Chili Cook-Off

Like pizza and barbecue, chili is one of those foods with intense regional loyalty. I was born in Mississippi and grew up in California, which are two states without strong chili identities. This is nice, in a way—I get to enjoy all chili, beans or no beans—but it also means I don’t have a favorite recipe, or even style.
