I've made this excellent chili every year for Super Bowl since I first read the recipe in the Minneapolis Star Tribune following a Chili Cook-off in the Twin Cities around 1997. It caught my eye, because this chili has no kidney beans, as it should be. The secret ingredient finishes it off with a slightly mellowing effect. I provide tortilla chips, sour cream and grated cheddar cheese for optional toppings.

Hey, I'm Denver Whisman, this is my recipe. That this recipe is extant almost 40 years past it's inception is groovy. The secret ingredient came to me at a stop sign about 6am on a gray sept dawn on my way to a clincal rotation in pediatrics at charleston area medical center as i was in my last year of WVU School of Pharmacy. It came about 3 months after I was diagnosed with cancer and 4 weeks after I buried my father from cardiac compications of surgery. It's been 40 years and I'm still cancer free and My father still dead. Yet Honey Lingers. <br/><br/>cheers, super bowl.
