Worst 'Chili' I've ever had.  

Have to admit, I was surprised to see it listed on the Hard Times Cafe menu.

They have a number of chilis, tons of beer and pool tables.  If ever near Hagerstown, MD, check it out.

Chili Mac

Your choice of chili over spaghetti. All chili is served with homemade cornbread.

3-Way Chili Mac

4-Way Chili Mac
Spaghetti, chili, cheese and onions.

5-Way Chili Mac
Spaghetti, chili, cheese, onions and beans.

Hard Times Traditional Chili

Our recipes are authentic and historically correct versions of the chili created on the turn-of-the-century cattle drives of the Southwest and in the Cincinnati chili parlors of the Midwest. All chili is served with homemade cornbread.

Texas Chili
Coarse ground beef cooked in its own juice, using an authentic turn of the century family spice blend and recipe.

Cincinnati Chili
Introduced in 1922 by Greek immigrants, it is a fine grind of beef with a tomato base and sweeter spices, including cinnamon.

Terlingua Red
A tribute to the Texas ghost town that hosted the first chili cook-off. A redder color and spicy kick of championship chilies.

Vegetarian Chili
Soy flakes cooked in a tomato base with fresh mushrooms, onions, green peppers and jalapenos

Fun topic.  Some good chow listed.

We like to do a "feast on the blood of our enemies" process where we eat typical foods popular in our opponent's cities:

• Cincinnati chili for the Bengals, I like dogs, wife does pasta.
• Cabbage rolls or City Chicken for Pittsburgh.
• Pit Beef for Baltimore, no good crabs around SE Ohio.

Something Cajun if we play New Orleans...you get the idea.  Nice way to have Cincy Chili twice a year.

Always match whatever we make with some Devil's Kettle brews.
