Slim’s Last Chance Chili Shack never disappoints. Whether it’s ladled over a burger, a kobe hot dog, or my personal favorite, jalapeno mac & cheese, it’s complex and comforting, with just enough heat to warm up whatever overcast, chilly, rainy day you happen to be there (which is basically October through Juneuary). On a warm summery day, it’s awesome to be out on their patio with some chili and a cold beer, soaking in the sun. I’ve even eaten it in an emergency room waiting room (long story). Their bean and brisket is last meal-worthy. It’s that good. If only I could remember that they’re closed on Sundays, because I’ve shown up about three times in the last year on a Sunday, hungry and disappointed.
