Most Iconic Indy 500 Foods-- Part 2: Mom Unser's Chili


Drivers Al, Bobby and Jerry Unswer are Indy 500 legends, but so was their mom thanks to her chili parties.

"Every April, Mom would gather her big pots and pans, and sacks of green chilies, packed them in coolers and loaded the camper of the pick-up to make the 1,250-mile journey (from her home in Albuquerque, N.M.) to Indianapolis.

Mary Unser's famous chili and tequila bash started when she asked track firefighters, safety crews and mechanics if they wanted to try her chili.

It was full of pork, tomatoes, onions and hot chilies.  She served it from the mid-1960s until her death in 1975.
