My last trip to Roanoke, on official hot dog business, was for the famous
Roanoke Weiner Stand, which was delicious. But I had no idea it was only a few blocks away from one of the coolest looking "Texas" themed hot dog joints in the country. Texas Tavern, also known as
Roanoke's Millionaires Club , has been around since 1930.

After making a pot of chili, the leftovers turn into this simple cornbread-topped chili bake. For the recipe, use your favorite chili recipe as the base. Then spoon cornbread batter over the chili and bake.

Some might say meatless chili isn't even chili. If you are raising your hand right now, and can't imagine a world where chili doesn't include beef (or
maybe even turkey), these recipes are for you.

Why does vegetarian chili get such a bum rap? Beans can taste good in chili. Tomatoes can taste good in chili. Heck, even pork and tomatillos can taste good in chili. So why shouldn't we be able to make a completely meatless version that tastes great as well? My goal this week is to create a 100% vegan chili recipe that has all of the deep chili flavor, textural contrast, and rib-sticking richness that the best chili should have.

Wendy's chili isn't much to look at, but it tastes leagues better than Hormel. It's much thinner, but the sparse beef is augmented by plenty of small red kidney beans and pinky-gray pinto beans, and there are cursory bits of tomato skin, onion and, in a huh?-but-harmless touch, celery.

The recipe we're discussing now is real-deal
chili con carne, old school Texas style. What does that mean? First of all, absolutely no beans. No tomatoes. Indeed, there's very little that goes into the pot other than beef and chiles (and plenty of both!). That doesn't mean there aren't a few things to discuss, however. Let's get to it.

A long, narrow counter with maybe 15 to 20 stools, the
Dog House is a no-frills sandwich shop just south of Wilmingtown on the side of a small highway known for their foot-long hot dogs. The lobby is jam-packed with people waiting for seats or take-out, and when a stool opens up, grab it quick and you'll barely have time to look at the menu before one of the many counter folks come to take your order.

Altoona is a medium-sized central Pennsylvania town that's said to be the birthplace of the
Texas Weiner style hot dog. Other claims point to
Patterson, New Jersey, and even New York state. And while similar in name, these "Texas" dogs are very different from one region to the next, in terms of sauce and especially the type of frank served.

Chili night is usually relegated to winter, when a hearty bowl of meat and beans is just the thing to keep out the cold. Personally, I enjoy chili even more in the summer, when vegetables get to be the star of the show. Paired with a slice of spicy cornbread and finished with a scoop of chocolate ice cream, this is my kind of do-it-yourself dining.

Like its name implies, a good quality Dutch oven is far more than just a three-legged cast iron pot with a lid—indeed, it's one of the most versatile cooking tools around. You can use it to bake bread or griddle eggs and bacon, but its true purpose is for slow-cooking. With its heavy lid, thick walls, and ability to be heated from both above and below, it's custom-designed for braising projects like chunky chili and slow-cooked beans.
