Texas Chili In New York City

As winter fast approaches, I find myself in search of a steaming non-vegan Bowl O'Red Texas beef chili.

We're talking chile con carne sin frijoles. NO BEANS! But where to get the best in New York City without hopping a plane to Texas?

"Chili concocted outside of Texas is usually a weak, apologetic imitation of the real thing. One of the first things I do when I get home to Texas is to have a Bowl of Red. There is simply nothing better," said Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States. 

I have to agree with Lyndon. As a real Texan, he would also never abide his Bowl O' Red having anything in it other than meat. But I'm even willing to overlook a few stray beans here and there in New York City if the chili is also made with love.
