About That Chili…
Brandi's Marietta chili is famously spicy. It's a no-bean recipe, and it sits at the center of everything this little counter is known for. The recipe stays in the kitchen.
The slaw cools things down. The chili makes sure you remember lunch.
Slaw balances the heat
The sweet coleslaw is the traditional cool-down. Most first-timers go chili-slaw.
Cheese is a popular move
American cheese on top is another favorite way to soften the kick.
You can ask for lighter chili

Sensitive to spice?
