Blasphemy.

Just recently it had occurred to me that my family has no famous recipes, or any hand me down signature dishes in it's blood. I've decided to try and start one up and dedicate my life to try and make the perfect chili. Why not, chili has got to be one of the better foods out there in my opinon.

Are there any chili connoisseurs out there who have any good tips or ideas that you might think makes the perfect chili?

I plan on buying a huge pot and starting my mission in the next week or two.
