| IN THE 1960s AND 1970s CHILIBILL WAS ON THE CHILI COOKING TRAIL ALL OVER THE WESTERN PART OF THE U.S.A. AND WROTE A CHILI COOK BOOK CALLED "CHILI CHILE CHILLI CHILLE" HE GOT A CALL FROM JOHN WAYNE THAT WAS IN LONDON DOING A FILM AND WANTED CHILIBILL TO SEND 5 GALLONS OF HIS CHILI TO LONDON FOR THE CAST AND CREW PARTY AFTER THE FILM WAS COMPLETED. THE FILM WAS "BRANNIGAN." IN THE MID 1970s WAS ASKED TO DO THE T.V. SHOW "CHILIBILL'S KITCHEN" ON FOODS OF THE SOUTHWEST AND THE SHOW RAN FOR OVER 5 YEARS. JOHN WAYNE SAID THAT IT WAS HIS FAVORITE CHILI SO WAS RENAMED "DUKE'S CHILI" BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY IN 1979. BELOW IS THE ORIGINAL COPY OF THE RECIPE SENT TO JOHN WAYNE FOR "DUKE'S CHILI" SO HIS HOUSE KEEPER "ROSA" COULD MAKE IT FOR DUKE. THE COOKBOOK "CHILI CHILE CHILLI CHILLE" HAS OVER 100 CHILI RECIPES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS. |
