Chili Head (1963)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

I just realized that George Thompson's note on Jennifer Schiff Berg's Ph.D.  
dissertion, "From pushcart peddlers to gourmet take-out. New York's iconic 
foods  of Jewish origin. 1920 to 2005" (2006) was sent to the list and not 
directly to  George,. Sorry.
...
What does anyone have for "chili head"? My HDAS is packed. Anything in the  
Dallas Morning News?

Chili Head
 
Someone who likes chili is called a “chili head.” The Chili Appreciation  
Society (now the Chili Appreciation Society International, or CASI) began in the 
 1960s, and George Haddaway of Dallas was its “Chief Chili Head.” The CASI  
popularized the term “chili head” and possibly coined it. 


_Chili Appreciation Society  International_ 
(http://www.chili.org/mission.html)  
The Chili Appreciation Society International, Inc.’s  mission is to promote 
chili and raise money for charity. We are involved in over  500 chili cookoffs 
per year and raise over $1,000,000.00 annually for local  charities.  
In addition to raising funds for charitable organizations in the United  
States and participating foreign countries, we seek to educate the public about  
the historic and cultural significance of chili - an indigenous American  
tradition. We are working for the adoption of chili as the National Food of the  
United States.  
Annually, the Chili Appreciation Society International sanctions over 500  
cookoffs that raises over $1,000,000.00 for charity. Corporate CASI, which has  
the function of sanctioning all of these cookoffs, doing the necessary work to 
 tabulate cookoff results, and putting on the annual Terlingua International  
Chili Championship, has an annual income of approximately $250,000.00. Out of 
 this annual income, not only were we able to cover all of the associated 
costs  and expenses of the TICC, but we were able to contribute close to 
$60,000.00 to  charity. Keep in mind that CASI is a 501(c)(3) corporation, which means 
that we  have no compensated officers or employees. This allows us to channel 
all of our  excess profits to charity. 

30 June 1963, Chicago Tribune, “Texas  Chili Experts Help Its Lovers Far and 
Near” by Jack N. Fallon, pg. A1: 
Chief  Chili Head Goerge Haddaway of Dallas, who spreads the lore of chili, 
ordered the  Chili Appreciation society [International] to the rescue. 

17 May 1964,  Los Angeles Times, pg. Y28: 
There is, if you haven’t heard, a Chili  Appreciation Society 
(International). It has a local chapter. And I have just  become a member in good standing, 
bearing Card T-69. The Chief Chili Head is  George Haddaway; Chief Taster, Peg 
Hereford. 

14 August 1966, Chicago  Tribune, “How about a bowl of chili?” by Robert 
Cromie, pg. P4:  
Despite the definition of chili found in a modern Mexican dictionary which  
calls it “a detestable dish sold from Texas to New York City and erroneously  
described as Mexican”—there are plenty of “chili heads” thruout the world,  
including Harry James, President and Mrs. lyndon B. Johnson, and Elizabeth  
Taylor, THE Elizabeth Taylor.
