| - I went to Lupie's for the first time...finally. I had heard good things about them from various people, especially about their chili. Yes, you do have to park in a stoned parking lot. Yes, it looks a little sketchy on the outside. Yes, it's not in the best neighborhood. Fortunately, it was still very light out when we went so I felt very safe and enjoyed the rustic ambiance of the restaurant. I'm not sure how it gets once the sun goes down.
At 95 degrees outside, I wasn't really in the mood for hot chili, but I decided to give it a try since it was their specialty. I ordered the chili mac (chili on top of spaghetti...all covered with cheese...c'mon, sing along with me!). They have three types of chili (which I'm glad they explained on the menu). Texas - no tomatoes, hot. Cincinnati - regular tomatoey chili. Vegetarian - guess. I went with Texas. It was VERY thick, full of meat, and yes, spicy. YUM.
The portions are fantastically big; I walked out of there stuffed. The prices are very reasonable, too, especially for the taste, quality, and portion size. The table next to us ordered the covered/smothered nachos as an appetizer. Wow. It was a HUGE platter full. I may have to try that next time as my main meal. My mouth is watering already thinking about it.
