Should have had the soup

This past weekend I ventured up to the great North Woods of Wisconsin (The Lakeview Bar in the town of Pelican Lake) to obtain its finest bowl of chili. Legend has it that this chili is the original recipe of Paul Bunyan himself.

On the surface everything appeared to be on track. I was even persuaded into paying the $0.50 surcharge to include the onions and cheese.



Unfortunately, I would not have fed this chili to Bunyan's Ox, Blue. The chili was bland and dissatisfying. Furthermore, the onions were overpowering and raw (I ask how these kind people could make such a novice mistake?). I think it tasted more like Bunyon's bunions rather than chili. My journey took me nearly 210 miles to offer me nothing but disappointment. Alas, it is a lesson that none of us should forget. Not all chili is created equally. So next time you decide to put some fresh chili on or inside you body make sure you know which chili supplements are entering your system. Ignorance is not an excuse!

I guess I should have had the meatball soup.
