I have a restaurant here in Costa Rica. The only thing I personally make is the chili. I know everyone says this about thier chili but I personally think mine is the best around. I will have to give it some thought on giving out my recipe.
BTW....anyone who has come to my restaurant can vouch for the taste......

Chili is a very personalized thing, impossible to give one recipe that is the "best" though there are lots of good ones online.
The most important thing when making whatever recipe you decide upon is to do the little things that take a little bit of extra work but really take your chili to the next level.
Things like buying whole cumin seeds, toasting them lightly in a dry pan and then grinding them fresh just before using. Buy whole dried chilis of various styles and do the same if fresh aren't available in your area. If they are, slow-roast them and puree them. No granulated garlic, use fresh and brown it properly to develop the flavour.
Little things like this separate the reaaaalllly good chili from the rest.

Excellent post,
When making Chili you are building flavors. Just like making any soup or stew. The key to mine is I add about 1 teaspoon of dark chocolate and some extra stewed tomatoes(chppoed) right at the end. I try to raost a varieaty of peppers, I feel thats where a good chili gets it's charactor; also the cumin is a HUGE key as Drew mentioned.
