It was a cold day in Austin, Texas (stayed near freezing most of the day). A bowl of hot chili sounded perfect in this weather. We decided to head to one of Austin’s legendary chili spot–the Texas Chili Parlor. This is a favorite lunch spot close to the Capitol which makes it a favorite lunch spot for politicos. We of course had chili–they make it in one alarm, two alarm and the infamous three alarm. Although I like my brother-in-law’s Ray’s chili better ’twas pretty good. The Chili Parlor had some rough times recently but was rescued by a regular patron who bought it. A good way to warm up in cold weather.
