Or perhaps, just maybe...something else - other than your opinion - might, just might, possibly...maybe, be valid?

My post was entirely tongue-in-cheek, but I do live in San Antonio where chili con carne was invented. I could throw a kielbasa between two slices of rye bread, slather it with BBQ sauce and garnish it with sliced beets and call it a Chicago dog ... but would it be a Chicago dog?

Well, that's the thing, though, right? She's not calling it something as specific as a Chicago dog, she's calling it "chili," which is a stew which has evolved quite a bit since its introduction, and often (quite correctly) includes beans. If she called it "Texas-style chili con carne," she would probably be wrong.
