There, chili was a dish that was created, perfected and served by working-class Tejana and Mexican women. In San Antonio, Texas, the chili queens reined throughout the 1880s, holding court in chili joints that served beanless and tomato-free versions of what they called “bowls o' red.” They served their 10-cent bowls to everyone from writer O. Henry to politician William Jennings Bryan.
