    Are you from Texas? I’ve noticed Texans tend to have much stronger opinions on chili than most people. I thought it was pretty decent as a chili “sauce” on their hot dogs. I think they gave me a sample on the spaghetti also; conceptually it was weird to me to put chili on spaghetti but in practice it seemed more like a meat sauce. Not like a chili that’s like it’s meal (edit: chili con carne was the term I was looking for).

      I’m not from Texas, but all over. I’ve spent a significant amount of time in the west, however. Now, I concede I haven’t had it on a dog (glizzy for my locals), I had it presented as a bowl of chili. When you expect chili, you can’t just spring whatever that is on people.

        Oh yeah, if you went into it expecting chili con carne and got something closer to a bolognese that would be a problem. I told the guy at Skyline I was a tourist and asked what it was so he gave me a bit of an explanation and some samples before I bought anything.
