Starlight Theatre - Terlingua, TX

For my very first chili rating I sampled a fine bowl of chili from the chili capitol of the world, Terlingua, TX.  The Starlight Theatre has a great Texas atmosphere.  Don't miss it if you are ever in Terlingua. 

Served without beans (which I'm leaning more towards after years of insisting on beans) the chili was a brownish red color with a nice chewy beef texture that you could really sink your teeth into.  It had a great spicy flavor that balanced nicely with the acidic tang that was present.  Served with cheddar cheese and a big basket of tortilla chips (the way it should be).  Overall this reminded me of the most of my own chili recipe.  Good Stuff!  Sorry, I wasn't thinking and didn't think to take any pictures.  D'OH!

Spice (1-10): 6
Not too spicy but spicy enough to let the flavor of the beef and other seasonings come through.  Great balancing act.

Presentation (1-5): 3
Simply served in an average bowl.

Meat: (1-5): 4
Nice chewy beef texture and flavor

Aroma (1-10): 6
Smelled good like a bowl of red should.

Overall (1-20): 16
This was a very good bowl that reminded me of my own chili recipe.
