I like to think of this one as “really good potential”. First off, the place is busy with college kids all over as it is on campus. Decent menu and drinks. The chili just had a good overall base flavor but just lacked some oomph. All it needed was some smoked paprika, more chili powder and maybe some other various spices to move the needle. As you can imagine there wasn’t much heat at all. It had my favorite base profile of “a little on the tomato side”, nice amount of meat, great sauce thickness. …and the temp could have been hotter!
Overall Flavor – 5.9/10
Spice Level – 3.8/10
Heat Level – 1.8/10
IT Factor – 4/10 – actually a nice presentation
Value – 1/10 – $8 for a cup??
You are close…spend some money on spices and lower the cost!
