This is my first white chicken chili review. I’ve had plenty in my life, usually because a place has this as only option. I think there might be as many variations on this as red chili.

I was really happy and surprised with this one. It was a little thicker than I’d like but not too bad. The toasted bread wasn’t that good that was stuck in the side.

It has a creamy taste that was a little sweet but you also got that green chili flavor and other spices. The chunks of chicken were great and the portion size was excellent. I would definitely get again! Maybe more towards football season is when they get regular chili on the menu….

This is my first hash brown review so why not start at the top with a traditional high-end steak house. I don’t think I’ve ever not got these here or any other steakhouse. These are they type I try to duplicate at home but can’t quite get it right. I’ve seen cookbooks and know most places use the stove top and oven….and tons of butter. There is definitely a crispy outer shell and the smooth silky interior with butter oozing out of every pore. I’m a ketchup guy but these are good enough to go solo. If I didn’t have a nice piece of meat in front of me I would have taken down the whole plate. Will be tough for anyone to top these!

As the place that is literally the closest to my office I had to give it a try. I’ve ate at this place a number of times now and have always had a good meal at a good price. The “soup” bar isn’t by the sandwich area so I never really saw the chili before. I wasn’t offered any extras with it, which I’m not sure if it is normal or not. Not bad taste, obviously a mass-produced corporate chili, unless I’m mistaken. It was pretty good, decent meat and beans and a little hint of some spices to make it their own.

I would get again as a side to my usual wrap, and maybe see if they can add some cheese next time.

Red Robin is obviously known for it’s burgers/fries, which are great. I decided to get some chili to sub for the fries this time. First of the size of the “cup” was pretty small. I should have counted the spoonfuls before it was empty…

Overall I wasn’t too impressed. Just a “run of the mill” chili. Nothing really stood out and per previous posts I’m not a fan of tortilla chips on my chili. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t bad but just didn’t have any wow factor.
