(US, historical) A member of a group of women who sold chili con carne as street food in San Antonio, Texas.
We asked him what came to mind when we said "hidden kitchen." The chili queens of San Antonio was his response. The saga of the chili queens goes back nearly 200 years. Some kitchens are hidden by place, some by time.
