"If there’s one thing this Virginia restaurant is known for, it’s chili. This is a place that really drills down into the regional varieties of chili, whether it be Cincinnati-style, Terlingua red chili, Texas chili, and more. There’s a veg version, and just about anything gets topped with chili here: cilantro rice, tater tots, chili mac. Don’t miss the fun chili specials like the “Chili Changa,” frito pie, and the “Chili Bubba” (over cornbread with two types). Online ordering here." - Missy Frederick
