There n back again, or my trip to willie's chiliburgers\r
I had heard that there was a hamburger joint in Sacramento faithfully reproducing a pinks or Tommy's chili experience. There almost is . The chili is a near knockoff of pinks chili which is great, but the hot dog n burger experience is off the mark. The staff is using microwaves to heat the hot dogs, burgers, n chili. The chili is a little to thick, needs less flour. Needs to be served hotter ""not more spicy"" hotter temp. The tomato's are pre-sliced. Way to many at a time n then microwaved with the burger, n chili. Makes for a soggy tomato which ruins an otherwise perfect combo of cold crisp, pickles, and tomato's which is mixed with an awesome but way to cold n thick chili. In summation lose the microwaves get steamers for the hot dogs n buns. thin the chili out n serve lots hotter n do not pre-slice your tomatoes to the point where they lose that crisp crunchy contrast that makes a Tommy's burger what it is. Meanwhile you have success within your grasp. A few changes n you could have it. The chili is really very good. I appreciate what is trying to be done here.
Pros: chili is close to pinks in L.A
Cons: its 2 cold n thick. Lose the microwave
