Chili's

Sometimes it's nice to be surprised.

When I walked into Chili's for lunch one day, it was just on a whim. I figured that - worst case scenario - I would order a salad and call it yummy. I asked for a gluten free menu, just in case. They actually had one - sorta. They had a big bundle of laminated sheets with all the different allergies listed on them, and the hostess flipped to the wheat/gluten page and handed it to me.

The most exciting section for me was the soup section. They have 3 soups listed, and I tried the chicken and green chile soup. It was fantastic! I also had the Monterey Chicken, which was very good.

I went back later with some other friends and had potato soup and a steak... they were both pretty bad. The soup was runny, and the steak tasted cheap, like a buffet steak.

I think that it's a great place to go if you're smart about what you order. I highly recommend that green chile soup, though. It was really really great.

Happy eating!
