Maybe this is lost to time now, but YC started in Boston. They used to do the summers in Boston, and winter batches in SF. But then PG didn't want some other copycat accelerator to call themselves "the YC of SF", so they just moved to SF. Perhaps around 2009/2010 or so.
Anyway, if you want to know what the Boston YC looked like, that's where PG is being interviewed. Since Reddit is there, it's the first batch, which should be 2005.
PG is making chili because it's the way he feeds a whole bunch of people at once. YC kept it up throughout the years, and chili is one of the things to remain from the early days, last I heard. Dunno if they're still doing that.
