I’ve stayed at the Holiday Inn here many many times and haven’t got around to eating much during my stay so of course I’m gonna try it.

I could tell at first glance this was some mass produced corporate chili. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
what can I say other than it was average. It had kind of ok flavor but really lacked any spice, tomato notes, heat…etc.

overall flavor 4/10

spice level 2/10

heat level 2/10

IT factor 2/10

value ?? I didn’t pay so I guess it was really good!

if you are looking for a side other than fries it isn’t that bad. If I get again I would ask for cheese, sour cream and maybe some type of hot sauce to kick it up

Well….after a long hiatus due to COVID and not being out to eat much…and the fact that hardly anyone has chili in the summer I finally have another post. Yes, I have been here before but it is good to be back.

this cup “bowl” of chili was pretty solid and different from what I remember. I thought before it came with cheese, sour cream, onion and maybe tortilla chips so I was surprised when it just came “plain”. But, I was happy to just have good old chili and nothing else.

I detected a tiny bit of smokiness, some good tomato notes and good overall flavor. There wasn’t much heat at all but the taste was solid.

Overall taste – 7.1/10

Spice level – 5.8/10

Heat level – 1/10

IT factor – 6/10

Value – 5/10 – $6 I believe but it was a good amount…I’m guessing all prices have gone up since COVID
