Best Chili in Vegas?

Best Chili in Vegas?

Any opinions? We're local, so either on-or-off-strip will be fine.

TIA,

This is just a guess, but I'd bet the best chili would be over at
Nonny's house.

Many thanks, Kurt, but I've had better chili than my own.
Unfortunately, my Mom is not with us anymore.

Binion's walk up snack bar type place has good chili, and not sure if it
still has the same recipe but years ago Magic Star had chili worth driving
all the way out there for.

I hope none of the various places mentioned in this thread have beans
in their chili.

Oh man! When I moved to the South, the first time I ordered chili I
asked... "Hey... where are the beans?" People looked at me with either
disgust, derision or pity.... poor Yankee boy don't know 'nuthin about real
chili.

I might have been born yesterday, but I am a fast learner and I got up to
speed quickly. Chili has no beans. BBQ is something you eat, not something
you cook on. Crawfish are not fish or bugs. Some of the best cooks in
Chinese restaurants are Mexican.

I learned... I adapted... but I will NEVER put mustard on a hamburger.

In my family (and most of my friends growing up) when you mayonaise you
really meant Miracle Whip. I can't stand commercially prepared mayo.

This Texas boy has learned to eat chili with beams. My wife (from
Illinois) make Chili with beans and without the beans it would be tomato
soup with ground beef. Has taken an adjustment (and my poor
grandmother is probably spinning in her grave).

Call me what you will, but price aside the best chili I ever ate is at
Wendy's!

Personally, I think Wendy's Chili is pretty darned good. I also have
eaten the chili at PT's Pub and cannot complain.

While I've not tried it, I read in the paper today that a place well
known (almost as cult-like as White Castle) from CA called Tommy's Chili
is now open around the 3900 block of St. Rose Parkway. I Google Mapped
the address and it's out near I-15 and St. Rose Parkway. We'll give it
a try.

To me, chili is a cold weather dish, and thus not something I think much
about here in LV. When I've had it in a restaurant, it's always been on
a cold day.

The chili we fix here at the Nonnyhouse and especially when we also had
the cabin on Mt. Charleston was something that took a lot of time and
preparation. Sorry, George, but my chili has beans of many kinds in it,
so it doesn't appeal to a purist. We make ours with chopped meat and
never ground. I typically chop up chicken breasts, pork cutlets, a
brisket and occasionally a little lamb. The meat is never leftover from
the smoker, since I think the smoke flavor muddies up when you cook with
the meat. We also toss in a can of corn, a can of green beans, black,
pinto, white and kidney beans. Naturally, there are jalapeños and
onions galore as well, along with green pepper. When Mrs. Nonny could
help, she'd sneak in some yellow and red Bell pepper as well, but now
that it's primarily me doing the chili, I keep it simple. <Grin> My son
calls it a vegetable and meat soup, which is probably closer to the
truth than calling it chili.

To accent my unconventional and probably poor taste in chili, we serve
it in a flatter bowl than normal, with grated cheddar cheese, sour cream
and chopped onions on top. It would make chili purists shudder, but
it's what we like. I make a huge pot of it, measured in gallons, and we
then freeze the excess in quart containers for later enjoyment. I've
experimented with things like chili oil, but the seasoning we return to
is just store bought chili powder and a little added cumin. Our chili
is "user friendly," though if someone wants more heat they can add it
when served.

In my days from living in Kansas City, I had many lunches at Chili
Bill's in the downtown area. His chili was more like George perfers-
without beans. However, while offered by the bowl, it was primarily
used as a topping for spaghetti or Macaroni and cheese. Like mine, it
was then topped with grated cheddar, onions and sour cream. I ate many,
many times at Chili Bill's and remember it fondly.

By the way, if the talk turns to bean soup, I also have unconventional
taste in it as well.<grin>
