Did you know? A significant event in the history of chili was the first modern-day chili cook-off held in October of 1952 at the State Fair of Texas in Dallas. For many years, it was believed that the first cook-off took place at Terlingua, Texas in 1967. However, recent research has overturned this notion and established that the inaugural cook-off actually originated at the State Fair of Texas. This important finding has only added to the historic significance of the State Fair and solidified its reputation as a leader in chili culture.

After all, it's all about the sunshine state
