"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
Anna Gastineau (MaMa Shirleys mother) used to make this chili for Randy and I when we were very small and lived next door to them. I did not realize until I was in college that you did not put catsup or sugar in chili. At our house, I often made two types of chili at the same time: One that was "Grandma's Chli" and one that was "Regular Chili." Dean and Lacey usually liked Grandma's Chili best.
