Beef enchiladas covered in XXX chili with extra onions and jalapenos!!!!! The bomb...

Love the Chili Parlor. Lived in Austin for 10 years. This is one of the places I miss. Some Frito Pie with XX was my go to dish.

I saw on the video The Texas Chili Parlor uses New Orleans' very own Crystal hot sauce. That is an awesome addition to their great chili. 🎹🎷 Best regards, A New Orleans citizen

I'm from Illinois but I sure hope one day I can go to Austin and grab a bowl of that chili...All three

I'm retired, 57 & from rural Kentucky, but i gotta go to Texas just for this chili, will cost me a lot, just in gas money, but i gotta feeling it will be worth it, lol.

I don't go to Austin often, but I always eat there when I do. Great food!!!

A whole place dedicated to Chili, I'm in.

Used to eat there back in the early 80's. I miss it to this day.

Love the Chili Parlor!! Good luck finding parking !

what a way to go..chilli drunk..gotta love it!!

My folks met working there in 1976 then my husband and I met working there in 2004. Hopefully my kiddos work there at some point as well. Its a staple of our life. I make a pot of chili every Xmas (I may know the secret ingredients).

Wife and I went there during our honeymoon to Texas. Very fun place.

Freidas enchiladas. One of my all time favorites

On my bucket list of spots to check out when I hit TX.

I need to go to Austin so i can try it! Looks so good! TFS

Good stuff Shane! 🎄👊🏼💯

I was eating in there when you guys were filming. Let me know I picked a good spot for lunch.

Great looking chili. Love to hear you bought out the restaurant by paying the back taxes. Rock on! Now you got me wanting to take a road trip from Missouri to your place just to try your chili!

My favorite place in Austin.

Thanks Zoobe for saving it! One of the first places that l ate when moving here in 80.

Great channel

I still haven’t been here and I live in Austin lol

"If you know beans about chili, you know Texas chili has no beans." Amen, brother! My wife is from north of the Mason-Dixon line and will even make chili with lots of beans and NO MEAT!!!! Sacrilege!!

Added to my bucket list

The owner is a real true Texan character looks like the kinda bloke to slam a few coldies!!!

love this place

Love this place.

When I was there they had this song playing in the background: 🎵I was fighting with my brother and my sister too til I got hit with my grandma's shoe, She threw across the room from the kitchen door Laid me out face down on the floor, Sometimes I do things without any thought, That was a fight I shouldn't have fought, When it comes to sense I ain't got a lick, Never hit your grandma with a great big stick! 🎵

The best in town.

I love a good Texas chili

Looks awesone..

I must go there

I live in Hungary and I wish I lived in Texas

Amazing

Glad to know that something ‘real’ still exists in Austin. I used to eat at this place while in college back in the 1980’s. It’s stayed as the template for all other chili’s. Don’t change!!!

I love watching grown men argue about if chili should or shouldn’t have beans.

Why did I think this place was a bar and always closed at night 🤣🤣

I want to go to there.

There are so many good restaurants in Houston around Texas Hill Country everywhere you go and Texas I don't care if it's a little hole in the wall sometimes a little hole-in-the-wall is better than a five star restaurant Aiden and Texas is like a box of chocolates you never know what you're going to get that's how good the food is in Texas no matter where you go you will be delighted

"If you know beans about chili, you know TEXAS chili doesn't have beans"... truer words were never spoken. my Yankee wife just don't get it.

YOU HAVE GOT TO GO TO BIG DOG BBQ IN MERCEDES, TX TRUE SOUTH TEXAS BACKYARD BBQ!!!! YALL WILL NOT REGRET IT. SEE YA SOON

Cincinnati has nothing on Texas chili. Especially Texas parlors. 😋

Chili with beans is ok occasionally as long as you don't call it Texas Chili.

Wait until the next day, your starfish hatin' you.

I don't know why, but I broke out in a sweat just watching.....

You gotta love Zoob.

Is this the same place Lee Harvey Oswald's daughter used to work at? Rachel I think it was.

Why do I watch these things when I'm hungry and 2,000 miles away?

That intro sounds like love struck baby by Stevie ray vaughn

They needs docs hot links, even if they could partner with them, to keep two traditions alive.🥂🍻

What movie

Owner is a cool dude

Been eating here since 1979! The head waitress used to be a girl named Rose Oswald Porter. Her biological daddy was Lee Harvey Oswald. Many a legislator or state employee has enjoyed a long happy hour here. Food is fantastic, drinks are cold and strong. 2X is a very good large bowl. 3x is good as a taster. This is one of the last old Austin places, and should be a must stop when you come to Austin!

Bad azz place

Keep Texas Spicy Again

I’ve eaten there, and you will never eat better chili ANYWHERE EVER!

Far too many brave men died at the Alamo to ever put beans in chili

NO BEANS IN CHILI! Remember the Alamo!

Lmao i can tell it is very spicy by his face

This is always best place too go eat that Chile. Nice place... I have a problem my mom just pass away. And i live in a very tied budget. I need too pay for my mom burial. Its so say she's gone after 97 yrs of life...

I love Shiner Bock 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

Do they serve mad dog margaritas

Authentic TEXAS Chili has NO BEANS !!! The first recipe for Chili con carne was put on paper in the 17th century by a nun, Sister Mary of Agreda of Spain. She was mysteriously known to the Indians of the Southwest United States as "La Dama de Azul," the lady in blue. It is said that Sister Mary wrote down the recipe for chili which called for venison or antelope meat, onions, tomatoes, and chile peppers. 1731 - On March 9, 1731, a group of sixteen families (56 persons) arrived from the Canary Islands at Bexar, the villa of San Fernando de Béxar , now know as the city of San Antonio. They had emigrated to Texas from the Spanish Canary Islands by order of King Philip V. of Spain.The King of Spain felt that colonization would help cement Spanish claims to the region and block France's westward expansion from Louisiana. These families founded San Antonio’s first civil government which became the first municipality in the Spanish province of Texas. According to historians, the women of San Antonia using the recipe of Sister Mary made the spicy “Spanish” stew that is known as authentic Southwestern Chili. Some Spanish priests were said to be wary of the passion inspired by chile peppers, assuming they were aphrodisiacs. A few preached sermons against indulgence in a food which they said was almost as "hot as hell's brimstone" and "Soup of the Devil." The priest's warning probably contributed to the dish's popularity. 1850 - Records were found by Everrette DeGolyer (1886-1956), a Dallas millionaire and a lover of chili, indicating that the first chili mix was concocted around 1850 by Texan adventurers and cowboys as a staple for hard times when traveling to and in the California gold fields and around Texas. Needing hot grub, the trail cooks came up with a sort of stew. They pounded dried beef, fat, pepper, salt, and the chile peppers together into stackable rectangles which could be easily rehydrated with boiling water. This amounted to "brick chili" or "chili bricks" that could be boiled in pots along the trail. DeGolyer said that chili should be called "chili a la Americano" because the term chili is generic in Mexico and simply means a hot pepper. He believed that chili con carne began as the "pemmican of the Southwest." It is said that some trail cooks planted pepper seeds, oregano, and onions in mesquite patches (to protect them from foraging cattle) to use on future trail drives. It is thought that the chile peppers used in the earliest dishes were probably chilipiquín0, which grow wild on bushes in Texas, particularly the southern part of the state. There was another group of Texans known as "Lavanderas," or "Washerwoman," that followed around the 19th-century armies of Texas making a stew of goat meat or venison, wild marjoram and chile peppers. 1860 - Residents of the Texas prisons in the mid to late 1800s also lay claim to the creation of chili. They say that the Texas version of bread and water (or gruel) was a stew of the cheapest available ingredients (tough beef that was hacked fine and chiles and spices that was boiled in water to an edible consistency). The "prisoner's plight" became a status symbol of the Texas prisons and the inmates used to rate jails on the quality of their chili. The Texas prison system made such good chili that freed inmates often wrote for the recipe, saying what they missed most after leaving was a really good bowl of chili. 1881 - William Gerard Tobin (1833-1884), former Texas Ranger, hotel proprietor, and an advocate of Texas-type Mexican food, negotiated with the United States government to sell canned chili to the army and navy. In 1884, he organized a venture with the Range Canning Company at Fort McKavett, Texas to make chili from goat meat. Tobin's death, a few days after the canning operation had started, ended further development and the venture failed. 1893 - The Texas chili went national when Texas set up a San Antonio Chili Stand at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. 1895 - Lyman T. Davis of Corsicana, Texas made chili that he sold from the back of a wagon for five cents a bowl with all the crackers you wanted. He later opened a meat market where he sold his chili in brick form, using the brand name of Lyman's Famous Home Made Chili. In 1921, he started to can chili in the back of his market and named it after his pet wolf, Kaiser Bill and called it Wolf Brand Chili (a picture of the wolf is still used on the label today). In 1924, Davis quit the chili business when his ranch was found to have lots of oil. He sold his operations to J. C. West and Fred Slauson, two Corsicana businessmen. To draw attention to the Wolf Brand Chili, the new owners had Model T Ford trucks with cabs shaped like chili cans and painted to resemble the Wolf Brand label. A live wolf was caged in the back of each truck. Today the company is owned by Stokley-Van Camp in Dallas, Texas. Chili Queens: 1880s - San Antonio was a wide-open town (a cattle town, a railroad town, and an army town) and by day a municipal food market and by night a wild and open place. An authoritative early account is provided in an article published in the July 1927 issue of Frontier Times. In this article, Frank H. Bushick, San Antonio Commissioner of Taxation, reminisces about the Chili Queens and their origin at Military Plaza before they were moved to Market Square in 1887. According to Bushick: " The chili stand and chili queens are peculiarities, or unique institutions, of the Alamo City. They started away back there when the Spanish army camped on the plaza. They were started to feed the soldiers. Every class of people in every station of life patronized them in the old days. Some were attracted by the novelty of it, some by the cheapness. A big plate of chili with Charro beans, and a tortilla on the side, cost a dime. A Mexican bootblack and a silk-hatted tourist would line up and eat side by side unconscious or oblivious of the other." Latino women nicknamed "Chili Queens" sold stew they called "chili" made with dried red chiles and beef from open-air stalls at the Military Plaza Mercado. They made their chili at home, loaded it onto colorful chili wagons, and transported the wagons and chili to the plaza. They build mesquite fires on the square to keep the chili warm, lighted their wagons with colored lanterns, and squatted on the ground beside the cart, dishing out chili to customers who sat on wooden stools to eat their fiery stew. In those days, the world "chili" referred strictly to the pepper. They served a variation of simple, chile-spiked dishes (tamales, tortillas, chili con carne, and enchiladas). A night was not considered complete without a visit to one of these In National Chili Cook off Competion Contests , NO BEANS of any kind are allowd in the Chili !!! If someone has Beans in their Chili then it is a automatic disqualification from the Contest as Beans are not allowed ! Authentic Southwestern Chili has NO Beans ! Beans are a side dish served with Cornbread.

man he almost sucked the chili powder off that others guys finger lol

Chili contests in Texas do not allow beans. Look it up

Do they have a chef's table?

I have probably eaten there but probably I don't remember being so many places in Austin Goss we're not far at all I'm in Houston we should go to 6th Street all the time Austin used to be the place for me but is getting too big just like everything else is now so I don't bother I would not take that back I was there about five months ago right before the covid-19 hit us but that's not everybody down

No beans...Great place to eat at in Austin, Austin the way Austin used to be.

Did they really film "Death proof" at this location????

Xlnt spot

The XX is HOT. I couldn't finish it. Get the mildest with jalapeno if you like a little heat.

Are there any native Texans left in Austin?

Texas chili has NO BEANS!!!!

I'd be there every day! Until the heartburn killed me!

I lived on Austin for years, even worked on 6th street. Never tried.

I dont know; chili john’s in burbank, california uses ground pork so soft and flavorful that even the pig approves. Super simple menu, horseshoe bartop diner, down the street from rick and morty studios.

Chili is like pu$$y, never had any that was bad! Beans or no beans....

What, no beans😲, I've always put three kinds of beans in my Red chili. Learn something new every day.

I would love to visit this place but I prefer chili with black beans, onions, bell pepper, cheese..etc. Just sauce and meat seems one dimensional to me.

Ate there 1 time. Just awful. It was a thick paste that if you added water it might have been a bowl of chili. I do recommend this joint at all.

I’ve been there, ordered the Texas Red. Hated it. It tasted like it came from a can of Wolf brand chili. I hate Wolf brand. Haven’t been back since.

Why is a guy in a BBQ restaurant in Austin wearing a University of Tennessee hat?

Nothing like watching people who eat too much food eat too much food.

That place is an Austin institution but their chili has gone way way downhill in recent years. Tough, dry and stringy.

Delicious Food but poor Service

I'm from Texas... If you don't put ranch style beans in your chili, you're missing out.

Wearing Tennessee gear but lives in Longhorns country

People who think cowboys ate big bowls of pure beef chili are not living in reality. Fresh meat back then was not only near impossible to take on cattle drives it was exspensive as hell and cowboys where poor. People love to say real texas chili like cowboys ate was chunks of beef in spiced gravy. Nope. It would of been made primarily of cheap easily portable beans. And dried spices. Maybe salted pork or fat back.

A lot of Texan dishes are just stolen Mexican dishes. Chili is just an americanized version of Frijoles Charros. The same as cowboys. Cowboys originated in Mexico not Texas.

So sick of hearing about the culture craze in austin

real texas chili HAS beans. Meat chili is no good

Austin ; Communist Central

No wonder they owed taxes it sucked in 2000. Most expensive worst Chili I ever had in my life. Inside and outside a can.

Its OK but the chili doesn't really taste like chili and the enchiladas don't taste like enchiladas....weird.

Been there and I really wasn’t too impressed

That kitchen is filthy...

The worst testimony to chili--- all the obese people. I know. I used to be obese. I looked gross. I lost over 60 lbs. and feel great!
