Slow Fox Chili

21 Food-and-Drink Destinations in Vancouver, Washington

"Former Screen Door chef Derek Saner opened this downtown food cart as an homage to the chili parlors he visited during his childhood in the Cincinnati area. Slow Fox’s Cincinnati 5 Way Chili starts with ground beef, tomato, and onion with cinnamon, allspice, clove, and chocolate, slow-cooked, then mixed with a bowl of spaghetti and beans, and topped with shredded cheddar cheese and diced raw onions. Another stellar dish, Louie’s Lentils, comes cooked to creaminess with tomatoes, onions, peppers, yam, and kale. Saner recently expanded the business into an indoor taproom where customers can sip beer from Clark County breweries like Trap Door Brewing, 54:40, Vice Beer, and Brothers Cascadia Brewing as well as Saner’s chili-friendly cocktails like the Meet the Hatchback Manhattan with bourbon, sweet vermouth, peach liqueur, peach bitters, and pickled peaches to accompany food from Slow Fox." - Rachel Pinsky
