Chili recipe from Chef Roble, star of Bravo’s Chef Roble & Co.

Chef Roblé Ali is star of Bravo’s TV show Chef Roble & Co. In the show, we watched him cater some of the biggest events in New York City with  his high-end catering company. He grew up in Texas and was always fascinated with food and cooking. He showed talent in the kitchen at a young age after learning from his grandfather, Jesse Harris, who was a professional chef. He enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, and quickly became identified as one of the hottest up-and-coming chefs.

He has worked side by side many notable chefs and was hired by nightlife mogul, Noah Tepperberg, to be the executive chef and design the menu at Avenue, a popular gastro-lounge in New York City.

Chef Roble has shared a great chili recipe with us, and we hope you’ll add chili to your next barbecue soiree. It’ll make a great addition.
