The World in Chili

Oklahoma Chili
Oklahoma chili is what Texas chili would be if local chefs lightened up just a little bit, and allowed some other ingredients to be added to the recipe. Oklahoma chili is overwhelmingly red, like Texan chili, but features beans. Some scoff that if beans are all that differentiate the two, are they really so different? We’re not here to judge, but there is a page on the Oklahoma Historical Society that spends multiple paragraphs delineating just how different they are. They contend that Oklahoma style was also influenced by the Coney sauce that adorned hot dogs on Coney Island in the 1920s, and that modern Oklahoma chili is a mixture of these two regional styles.
