Simple is better sometimes. The chili can be ordered with or without beans. I ordered mine with beans. Everything about this simple chili is perfect, 
the beans are tender, spices are the right blend of spicy with heat that doesn’t have you reaching for the water, so that you can taste and enjoy the flavors. The ground beef is present unlike some places that leave you searching for it. Nope, not here. Everything in the chili is balanced. It is a classic chili recipe that I would love to have. Having it for the second time, I can attest to its consistency. It was just as I remembered it the first time I had it.
There is no question that the french dip is what tourists and locals alike go to Philippe’s for. But, I am happy to have discovered a little piece of heaven in their chili. I am considering getting it for take out just to bring it home and use it on fritos for a frito pie or to top off my baked potato. It is so good that I was sitting eating it and making plans for the next time. That’s when you know you’ve found the best!
To prove how much I savored every bite – I captured an “after” photo, as proof. It is rare that I finish all my food and don’t have leftovers. But, what could be better than chili and a Dr. Pepper on a Friday night? Not much…
If you find yourself in Los Angeles be sure to add Philippe’s as a stop on your “MUST Do” list. You will not be disappointed. They also have amazing creme pies! Indulge in the banana creme!
