Chili con carne (chili with meat) or more commonly known as simply “chili” is a spicy stew containing chili peppers (from a Nahuatl word for Capsicum spp. L.) and meat. Traditional versions are made using chili peppers, garlic, onions, and cumin, along with chopped or ground beef. Beans and tomatoes are frequently included. Variations, both geographic and personal, may involve different types of meat as well as a variety of other ingredients. It can be found in many countries in local variations and also in certain American-style fast food restaurants. The variant recipes provoke disputes among aficionados, and the dish is used as an ingredient in a number of other foods.
Guests can enjoy chili samples and vote for their favorite recipe from eight restaurants at Patriot Place Mall in Foxboro , including Bass Pro Shops’ own  Blue Fin and Uncle Buck’s Snack Shop, CBS Scene, Davio’s, Red Robin, Tastings, Tavolino, Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill and Twenty8. Tickets are only $3.00 per person or $10.00 per family and benefit the Hockomock Area YMCA’s ‘Reach Out for Youth and Families’ campaign.
