Chile and Chili

One of the "masters" of Tex-Mex style chili is a guy named Wick Fowler. He is an enigma. He told his friends that chili shouldn't contain tomatoes, or masa harina (finely ground corn flour used in making tortillas also just called masa). He then put out a chili kit (Wick Fowler's Two Alarm Chili) under his name with instructions to add tomatoes and it includes masa as an ingredient.
