"Pleasant Ridge has seen an influx of hip restaurants serving dry-aged beef and slices of floppy New York-style pizza, a cocktail bar themed for The Shining, and a craft brewery with an extensive barrel-aging program — but long before any of that, this neighborhood chili parlor, established in 1964, was a fixture in the neighborhood. Pleasant Ridge Chili offers all of the chili parlor classics, but it’s known for its thick-cut french fries, famously topped with gravy, but you can get them with chili cheese as well. It’s a cash-only business, so hit up an ATM before visiting." - Andy Brownfield
