What my bubbe would say to my zayde when he stunk up her kitchen, making his chile

Baba was famous for his chicken wings and his chili. He would not allow us in the kitchen when he made either, but especially when he made that chili. Whatever he put into that chili, it was amazing, and he clearly did not want anyone to know his secret recipe. Years later, he would reveal only to me that it was all a scam. He was simply using, and I’m not making this up, Carroll Shelby’s Chili Kit. My grandfather rebuilt cars and knew the racing legend for decades. You can buy it a Schnucks.
