Dish 15 - #80 A Bowl Of Chili at James Coney Island



This is another of those ones I'm not really sure why I hadn't eaten before. The chili was really good. Since the ladyfriend wanted a drink to go with her fries it only cost an extra 30 cents or something to get a combo with a hot dog.

Before I ate this I'd enjoyed a couple of fine christmas beers at a christmas in July party. For some meals on this list loading up on beer before hand might be a shame. You'd hate to lose some of the nuances on one of the delicately flavoured treats. The James Coney Island chili falls into the other camp along with the bounty offered by whataburger and Little Big's. It's a hearty bowl of goodness. If you're looking for fine dining this isn't it. If you're a couple of beers to the good and you want a plate of something truly tasty in nice surroundings off the most awesome plates I've yet to come across on this journey this is the place for you. You could always do what we did and head across to the Stag's head for a delicious pint of IPA to wash it down.

At the end of the 29th of July I had:
eaten 14 / 100 dishes (15/100 including non-available dishes)
spent $134 (including tips)
travelled 145 miles (112 by car, 11 on foot, 20 by bus, 2 by bike)
