Texas Chili Parlor, Austin

Considering that it's the state dish of Texas, chili can be very difficult to find on restaurant menus, usually the stuff of festivals or home cooking. However, when out-of-state visitors come to Austin, they are looking for a real taste of the Lone Star State. And they find it at the Texas Chili Parlor, a funky restaurant that’s within walking distance of the Capitol.

Saunter up to a bowl of red. . . and make that “XXX” chili if you’re feeling especially brave. Other dishes include Tex-Mex favorites and burgers.
