What: Chili Cheese Mac Where: Jus' Mac
Question: How do you make one of the city's awesomest, cheesiest mac and cheeses even better? Jus' Mac knows the answer. Jus' mix it with ladles homemade chili, top it off with more cheese, add on Fritos, and serve it piping hot and heaping inside an mini cast iron skillet ($6.95). Maybe the eatery should change its name to Jus' Genius.
What: Kobe Beef Chili Dog Where: Canopy
High-quality ingredients are the name of the game at this Montrose stand-by. The saucy, meaty chili is made with grass-fed Sabra Ranch beef, the hot dog is made with kobe beef, and the buns are made in-house. Melted cheddar, jalapeños, onions, and plenty of twiggy frites round out the $12 meal.
What: Chili Cheese Fries Where: Bernie's Burger Bus
This burger master's crisp and pillowy hand-cut fries are pretty good on their own. But we can't resist going all the way with some of chef and owner Justin Turner's thick housemade chili, melted cheddar, and fiery chipotle aioli. $8.50 will get you an order that's big enough to share.
