Looking for Chili in Downtown Denver!

We are looking. Where can we find some? On one of those days that says, "Chili" at about lunchtime, you know what you have to do. Find Chili. I'm talking Red Chili, not the green that seems to be everywhere in Denver. You need Chili for lunch, today, but you don't know where to get it.

A lot of people know that we make a very good Chili. A little mix, lots of tomatoes, pork and beef, green peppers, onions, mushrooms, a bunch of flavor and some love. But, out is out.

Several years ago, in the space most recently vacated by Zaidy's at Writer Square, a restaurant called Charlie and Barney's operated and sold Chili, and Chili with Cornbread, and Chili with Spaghetti. This group out of Indianapolis was trying to launch a very mid-western habit at high altitude. This was the kind of Chili that Harry Truman would drive over to Westport Road in Kansas City to eat. Didn't last.

So, where can we get honest Red Chili downtown now...without going to a chain restaurant like Chili's? Send in your suggestions. There will be more Chili days soon!
