5-20-22 Town Hall Brewery 7 Corners

First time here…although back in my college days I’m sure I was in this building before. As far as I know they just have a bowl of chili…no cups.

This was just a really solid bowl of chili. It had everything I like – great meat, bean, sauce and veg. It had that nice understated tomato base sauce, more meat to bean ratio, little visuals of peppers and just a small dollop of sour cream. Taste was really…no complaints at all. The bowl isn’t quite big enough to qualify as a meal so I had the sausage platter to go with it. I would highly recommend getting the chili if you stop in.

Overall flavor – 6.8-10

Spice level – 5.9/10

Heat level – 2/10

IT factor – 4/10


Value – 3/10 – $8 for bowl

This was outstanding!! Picked it up frozen and thawed out in the fridge overnight. If I had a separate frozen ranking it would for sure be number one.

That being said, it might vie for a spot in the overall rankings.

This had it all…smokey meat, great sauce, heat, deep flavors. There wasn’t a lot of fillers, just meat, little bean and veg all tons of taste.

If you are ever in Hudson, stop in and pick some up. They do make sandwiches and stuff so maybe they do serve it fresh too.

Overall Flavor – 9.2/10

Spice level – 9/10

Heat level – 9/10

IT Factor – 8/10

Value – 8/10 ($14 for a good sized jug…maybe get at least 2 or more bowls out of it)

5-3-22 BLVD Tavern South St Paul MN

I really don’t know if what I ate falls into the category of chili. It was literally a couple huge meatball sized hunks beef and a ton of cheese and onions. There was a little watery sauce and no real chili flavor or spices. There was corn in it as well and I will never like corn in my chili.

Not much else to comment on other than I will probably not get this again. The cuban sandwich was decent.

Overall flavor – 1.7/10

Spice level – 1/10

Heat level – 1/10

IT factor – 7/10 (if you like meatballs)

Value -2/10

First time at this converted post office in Hudson. Note – the tuna salad sandwich was pretty solid.

Chili was right on the menu so not a seasonal add from what I can tell. First off it came in what looked like a big thimble so I was thinking there should be more. It was also a thousand degrees so guessing it was microwaved to order.

My initial thought was this is italian all the way, like a marinara base. I didn’t get much chili flavor at all, or any other real flavors. It has a decent mix of meat, veg and beans…but that was about it. It would have been a lot better if there was some garlic bread to dip into it. Next time add some chili powder and paprika.

Overall flavor – 4/10

Spice level – 1/10

Heat level – 2/10

IT factor – 3/10

Value – 2/10 $5.95 for a small cup
