WHAT TO ORDER:
CHILI ($4.99 “City Slicker” Small (1 large scoop – perfect) / $6.99 “Showgirl” Medium (2 large scoops – if you’re really hungry)/ $8.99 “Rancher” Large – massive)
- STEAK TOWN CHILI: Unfortunately it was sold out, probably due to Linda Burum’s recent article. “I had just such an epiphany over a “tub” of the Steak Town chili. It came loaded with marinated grilled meat chunks that stood out against a galaxy of seasonings driving the flavor of a grease-free sauce,” said Burum. Those words are enough to make you run there right when it opens.
- SMOKIN’ PIG: *FAVORITE* Spice imbued Chili freckled with Black-eyed peas and finished with 8-hour wood smoked hand pulled pork. It’s protein’s smokiness that rounds of the flavors of this excellent dish.
SIDES
- TUB’S BUFFALO CHIPS: Horizontal, Hand-Cut Russet Potatoes which are soaked then lightly fried resulting in a crisp exterior and soft interior. Topped with dusty Chipotle Salt and served with a side of Buttermilk Ranch. While I wish Rick used a multi-soaking process (Father’s Office technique) that would result in the reduction of starch in the potato and a crispier, more Chip-like dish, the chips still disappeared off the plate faster than the rest of the meal.
