| - A+ for taste!

I have been daydreaming about this place (as well as Bishop's Chili near Chicago) ever since both were profiled on the Food Network.
I'm glad the Food Network steered me in the right direction.
Ambience (at this Brooklyn, OH location): cafeteria style.
Food:
1) Chili: think of it as more of a sauce than a chunky stew. But, You do get free samples, and once I had a taste, I was HOOKED. It was a very complex medley of flavors, somewhat reminiscent of Indian spices.
2) We got a small order of chili "5 way" (a bed of pasta, topped with this heavenly chili sauce, accompanied by freshly-grated cheese, chopped onions, and kidney beans.) I caught myself trying to sop up the chili with the complimentary oyster crackers.
3) We also got a coney dog (Basically a chili cheese dog with a bit of spicy mustard). This was also a hit, and the mustard added complexity to the order.
They do sell the chili in 4-pack cans. I just wish they sell locations (ie, franchise) to the East Coast!
