Blue Ash Chili

After the Xavier tour, we met some of my family at Blue Ash Chili.  We'd seen that the restaurant was featured on Diners, Driveins and Dives.  Can't pass up the chance to see what is so special.  We normally hit Skyline when we come in to town.  We appreciated the opportunity to compare this to it.  Pumpkin went for a double decker.  He had to wipe the pickle juice off the plate - just in case.

The funny thing - Peanut did not even know what a double decker was.  We explained it and realized they are not very popular in our "neck of the woods."

Peanut ordered slaw dogs, hot dogs topped with chili and slaw, and a huge side of onion rings.

Mom loves a good sandwich.  Look at the corn beef on there.  She only managed to eat half and packed the rest to go.

Pumpkin was barely able to get his mouth around the sandwich.  Needless to say, he ate it all!  It was his one meal of the day.

I opted for the Guy 6 way.  It is the normal chili with fried jalapenos on top.  I did not eat too many jalapenos, but had to try them.  I think I only made it about half way through the chili plate.  I really liked the spices.  The pasta is thicker than Skyline's.  It was different but just as good.

After lunch, we walked across the street to see the war memorial.  Blue Ash has a statue for all the wars.  It was interesting to see how the uniforms changed.  The day was beautiful.

After the park, we grabbed the dog and brought him back to my sister's.  He loves her yard.  It was so nice to just hang on her patio enjoying the fresh air.  We ended the evening with a trip to Ikea.  We left the boys at home for March Madness.  It was fun to walk around Ikea, a place filled with endless ideas.  Surprisingly, I only bought a few things.
