I typically don’t do 2 pics but thought it was necessary to show the bounty of hearty chunks of meat and veg. Park Tavern is a Minneapolis staple for bowling and the bar so the parking lot is usually full. They have the classic bar food, sandwiches, pizza, etc., so glad there was chili on the menu. At first glance I thought it was my grandma’s recipe, which is a good sign.
I was a big fan of the rustic big chunks of meat, tomato, onion, etc. It is pretty much a sign that it is homemade and not out of a big can. The sauce was a hair thin so the meat and veg were the stars. It was very solid but could have been top notch by a little tomato paste in the sauce to thicken it up and add some depth of flavor. I would certainly order again.
