Firehouse Chili
Meat or vegetarian, cheddar, sour cream, green onion... 3.95 / 4.95
Over mac & cheese... 7.95
Flanked by the Warm Pretzels and the Pork Sliders, this appetizer was calling for me to order it as a main course.
My first concern about this dish, before it arrived at the table, is that it was going to be some half-assed chili over the top of some gourmet mac and cheese (the type with the cheeses that have fake letters in them, like ǔ). I was actually a bit surprised when this showed up.
(dimly lit pub, this is the best i could get)
First of all, side plate with large helpings of sour cream, green onions, and cheddar..awesome. 2 packages of Natural, All Natural Westminster Natural Oyster Crackers...even awesomer!
I tasted the mac first. Pretty standard "blue box" taste, which is fine. The chili however was better then fine. Really good smokey chili, with a good kick. Once all the side plate was emptied onto the bowl, along with the crackers, the dish came to life. However the star of the dish was the chili, and maybe next time I'll get it without the mac, since that didn't really make the dish.
Overall, I was happy with it, and since the place is about a mile walk from my residence I'm sure I'll be there again soon.
Chili Score
