"Hi! This is Rich Buccola here in New York City and today on behalf of Expert Village, you better get your fire extinguishers because we're making chili diablo. Today on Expert Village, we are making chili diablo. My grandmother used to call it that. I don’t, if she got it on her own, made it up, or she just called it because she used to use all the different type of hot peppers in it. For old sakes, we're going to call it the same name. This recipe, as it got handed down, we've changed it. I personally have been working on this recipe for the last 20 years and I still haven't perfected it. Every time I find something new or something else to play around with. There are a lot of ingredients in this. Chili is usually just a meat and beans mixed together with a lot of different types of spices to give you that hotness and that spice that everybody loves with chili so much. Today, we're going to prepare our chili over a bed of rice and top it off some cheddar or some Parmesan cheese. When I come back, I'm going to show you just how many things I put in my chili. Come back. It is chili diablo here on Expert Village."
