I read this in the Edna Mode from Incredibles "no capes" voice ๐.
I was having a conversation about chili with a friend and he looked at me like I was crazy (he's also TX people) when I said no beans. Our difference was that I always had chili over Fritos before I even knew a Frito pie was a thing and later rice and for him it was more of a stand alone soup. I prefer no beans in my chili.
