Anyone can throw onion, garlic, spices and red beans into a pot and hope for the best. Some actually do. But no one can put ingredients together like the Chilli Man, Joe DeFrates. He's the only person to have won a world championship in Tropico, California (1975) and international championship cook-off in Terlingua, Texas (1973).
