| - This is the fall-back spot for Lunchies with Elite Emily (which could be a Food Network show at this point). But don't take "fall-back" as a bad thing... we wouldn't keep coming back here over and over if it wasn't deserving of it.
Life's too short to eat bad food!
Elite Emily loves the Veggie Pita Sandwich, but I'm more of a meatitarian, so I go for their Chili Size. We all know I swoon for a spoon of chili, and Winchell's chili is up to snuff -- good, sturdy, great as part of a meal or on its own. And they're very careful to ask if you want cheese and onions with it, which to chili lovers is a great touch, as sometimes they're good, and sometimes they overpower the flavor of the chili.
The Chili Size is an open-faced burger drowning in a sea of hot, gloppy chili goodness. Don't you dare try eating it like a burger... you will make a mess and we all will point and laugh. Loudly. Even more loudly if you're wearing white. Instead, grab that knife and fork and dig right in to some down-home goodness.
Service is very attentive, even during busy lunch hours, and the staff gets to know their regulars fairly quickly. We almost always have time to grab lunch, catch up on the latest gossip, and still have time to spare within Elite Emily's lunch hour.
Y'know, when I actually get there on time. **sigh**
