What restaurants in Houston make a bowl of good Texas no bean chili? Obvious spin off of FFB's thread.
There's this place called Jus Mac that puts chili on some of its stuff, been wanting to try that out. Anyone been?
No serious answers? Only place I could think of is Goode's Armadillo Palace. They make a pretty good bowl of venison chili, made to FFB's standards of no beans.
Prince's makes chili (and Frito Pie) without beans as well. But the Armadillo Palace is the best I've found outside of homemade.
I've always liked JCI's chili. I see your point though arkoe, as much as people identify chili with Texas there really aren't many places around here to get a good bowl of it without making it yourself.
Chili is not TEXAN. Texans loving Chili is a myth developed by the Eastern U.S. Jewish lead marketing teams using the old trick of making something seem liked in the south so that the Northerners will adopt it readily as a new standard. Same thing with us riding horses or all being red necks, the Chili rumor got the same treatment.

Hmm... apparently, in 1977, chili was made the official state food of Texas. That's about as Texan as it gets. Also, there are many references to it originating in Bexar or San Antonio, Texas. The Bexar location has people arriving from the Spanish Canary Islands and cooking it here for the first time (although, they may have been cooking it in Spain). So, Texas may not have been the first place in the world to have it, but it sure looks like it may have been the first place in the US. Now I want a damn bowl of chili..... no beans preferred, but I'm not gonna be picky.
