I doubt it. That blog is dated 2008. I had a chili recipe that was served
over rice prior to that. But most chili isn't served over rice. If you get
it in a restaurant it isn't.

I've had chili rice at a restaurant in Hawaii (fast food type place). It
probably didn't originate there though.

How do you eat yours? My mom served it over elbow macaroni. My
wife likes it with rice-- so that's the way I usually have it now. [or
cold as a dip for taco chips]

In Ohio it is served over spaghetti. Friends brought us some skyline
chili with explicit directions. Tried it. Went back to rice.

Good god, Julie. Forget about the frackin' date and concentrate on
the geography.

When I was growing up, it was simply the result of being poor.
Beans in chili are cheap filler already. Rice is cheaper than beans.

My dad never would go for the rice but he'd always bust up a sizeable
handful of saltines and mix them in.

I like it any ol' way it's fixed, beans, rice, crackers and even Cinci
style.

A jumbo refried bean, spicy beef and rice burrito! Topped with a scoop
each of guacamole, sour cream and red salsa.

The chili and pasta combo is one that I just do not like.

I was joking. But really it is not commonly served over rice. I have never
ever seen it in a restaurant this way. On a chili burger or dog, yes.
Normally comes with cheese and onions.

On the other newsgroup, we'd call that a colostomy bag, but I'd still eat
it. (and I do)

Rice is not all bad and Chili's quite good served over boiled small
potatoes either! After all, potatoes are a New World vegetable. I
suppose it's been mentioned that the potatoes could be baked too (I'd
use Idahos then.) I've also used Pita bread and crisped tortillas and of
course, I like Chili Cincinnati style (with spaghetti). The chili there
doesn't have to follow the Cincinnati recipe.

Eat the stuff anyway you like and thumb your nose at the purists!

I have seen salsa or chili put on baked potatoes but it does sound weird to
me.

In Texas a lot of restaurants serve "stuffed" baked potatoes. They use
huge Idaho bakers and cover them with Chili, cheese, onions, etc. Other
variations cover the spuds with either beef or pork BBQ.

Interesting... but it doesn't appeal to me so I've never had one.

I remember when I lived in New Orleans there was a place out in
Metairie that was called Pudgy's that was a stuffed baked potat place.
They had all kinds of toppings including crawfish, shrimp, brocolli, ,
you name it. I wonder if it is still there.

Red Beans and Rice would be just a small step away from chili over
rice. LA is close to TX and I could see someone mixing the two.

NOPE!

Beans over rice is a staple the world over due to the amino acids
combination contained therein.
Adding a flavoring to the beans such as chili powder, spices & other
elements is a natural evolution.

I'm a beans and rice lover from way back. Could you please elaborate from
a nutritional standpoint?

You have chili cheese fries too. And that sounds yucky to me.

But I don't think there are beans in TX chili. I like red beans. I like
rice. I just don't like the Cajun kind of red beans and rice. Don't like
those seasonings.

Here is my problem with this theory, which is often stated: Until
recently, people didn't know jack about amino acids or complete
proteins. They ate what was filling and tasted good. It wasn't _due
to_ or _because of those things, though that was a happy result.
