Having made sure I understood the joke that forms the premise of this book, we move on to "A Brief History of Chili and Fun Facts" and "A Chili Timeline". The timeline is fascinating - don't skip over it! Then, it's story time again. Brian talks about his search for the perfect chili. It's a tall tale that will leave you wondering how much of it is true and how much is epic storytelling.

And just when you're wondering where the other 176 recipes are, they appear. The variety is incredible. If you can't find a chili recipe in this collection to your liking, you probably don't like food at all. One grouping of the recipes are winners of ICS (International Chili Society) World Championships. The final recipe is 'the' recipe that was used in that incident in 'that' episode of "The Office". How fitting. All in all, this is more than just a cookbook.
