I’ve been in a chili fries state of mind, lately, odd for me, usually it’s a twice a year kinda tre\"\"at thing, but lately I’ve been imbibing every time they show up on a menu.\u00a0\u00a0 First time in this round was in Ukiah, CA, late at night on the current version of this road trip, which started a month ago, and has continued with a couple of brief hiatuses in the middle.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Be Bops Diner<\/a>, the chili was hot, meaty, the onions fresh and crispy, and the cheese bountiful.\u00a0 I’m not usually a cheese guy on chili fries, tho I love it, a girl has to watch her figure! <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"The next stop was Boulevard Burgers<\/a> in Woodland Hills, CA.\u00a0 This was a food service type chili, the one that has that undertone of cinnamon, as I have mentioned so often, this is a popular food service offering, but I am not sure who it belongs too.\u00a0 I’m starting to think it is from Vienna Beef.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s a good one, but I’d like it jazzed up a bit, and no, I am not sure what that means.<\/strong><\/p>\n

On to Jack’s Classic Hamburgers<\/a> in North Hollywood, where they goofed a little, and gave me the chili on the burger, instead of the fries.\u00a0 I had to do a little self-service relocation on that one, but fortunately, the chili on the burger was ample, so there was plenty to adjust.\u00a0\u00a0 I won’t make you suffer through the pix of that ordeal, it wasn’t pretty in the end!\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Johnnie’s Pastrami<\/a> in Culver City, Cailfornia, served up a nice order, again, I think this was Vienna’s product<\/a>, but this might have been jazzed up a little.\u00a0 It was the perfect accompaniment for the famous Pastrami dip.\u00a0 I do love freshly diced white onions as my topping of choice!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then it was on to the I-15 trek from Los Angeles to Vegas, and stopping at Original Tommy’s<\/a> in Barstow, just for a side of their chili fries, on my way to lunch, needed a little something to tide me over.\u00a0\u00a0 Their presentation is usually a little prettier than this, I take responsibility for dumping them over in the sack and trying to make it good again on my own.\u00a0 I failed, obviously, at the aesthetics, but won during the consumption round!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"On my recent trips, by far my favorite chili, was the little local hot spot in Tulsa, Ron’s<\/a>,\u00a0 where not only the fries, but the burgers, are buried under pounds of deliciously meaty, mildly spicy chili!\u00a0 Yep, there is a burger under there somewhere!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chili fries.\u00a0 It’s what’s for dinner.
