📝 How to Order (Step-by-Step Guide)
The Chili is unique because it can be ordered as a Side or a Main Item:
- Choose Your Purpose: Decide if you want it as a small side or a larger meal:
- Sidekick: Order the “Cup of Chili” (usually 1 of your 2 side choices for an entree).
- Main/Starter: Order the “Bowl of Chili” (listed as an appetizer or a main meal).
- Specify Toppings: The standard toppings are shredded Cheddar cheese and diced red onions. You can request these be omitted. Some locations may offer sour cream as well.
- Confirm Beans (Optional): In Texas-style chili, beans are often omitted. If you prefer beans, you must specifically ask if the location offers chili with beans, as this is not standard everywhere.
- Enjoy: It is served hot and usually comes with a spoon and maybe a side of crackers or a piece of their famous bread.
