| - In the same vein as "Soupermarket", Palookaville Chili specializes in, you guessed it, chili. The interior of the restaurant is decorated with some eclectic art which gives the place character. As for the food, it was quite fresh, fresher than Soupermarket, though I did arrive shortly after opening. I sampled three chilis, Texas beef, pork, and Chicken verde. The beef was the best of the lot, tangy and hearty without feeling greasy. The chicken verde was also quite good, not nearly as heavy as the other two and very fresh tasting. For sides, the appleslaw is an interesting take on coleslaw (quite good!) but the savory cornbread was a bit too greasy for my taste. Overall, healthy, fresh food and worth a taste. The only downside is the location-- not close enough to downtown or W25th to attract a crowd.
