Wordful Wednesday - Lunchtime at Chili's - Review

I don't know if you recently read the Washington Post article that featured Drew Carey, but when asked what he would be doing now if acting had not panned out for him he replied "managing a restaurant. ... I'd be at a Chili's near you. I'd be the boss that everybody liked." In response to that Chili's president Todd Diener invited Drew Carey to work at a Chili's restaurant for a day, in the L.A. area. How fun would it be to visit Chili's that day, if Drew Carey took him up on the offer?

Well we don't live in L.A. and I'm sure that we will never get Drew Carey to any restaurant here in the Northern Plains in January. But if it's fun to work at Chili's, I guarantee you it's even more fun to eat at Chili's!

Thanks to Nicole; Chili's Media Manager, I was able to take my family for lunch at Chili's.

There are a number of great reasons to eat at Chili's. In no particular order they are:

• Very reasonable cost - It isn't at very many restaurants these days that you can have a sit down meal with your family for less that $35.00 (tax and tip included).
• All of their menu items can be seen online at Chilis.com. You can view the nutritional facts of their meals and the cost too.
• They support the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Go to Createapepper.com and check out how you can partner with Chili's to help fight childhood cancer.
• They are always offering new menu items to tempt you!

We were greeted with a smile, and seated promptly. Our server was pleasant and attentive (which always makes dining out a pleasure). After perusing the menu; we made our decisions, and were not disappointed.

I chose one of the new offerings on the menu the Crispy Chicken Crisper Tacos. This is only one of many new choices Chili's has on their menu. And check out how yummy it looks....I assure you it tasted just as good. (The menu serves this with black beans, I chose steamed vegetables to replace them, because I'm not terribly fond of black beans).
Genius ordered their famous Original Baby Back Ribs. A lover of ribs this girl is, and she declares Chili's as having the best ribs. She has tried ribs at just about every restaurant we have gone to, and she still says Chili's has the best!

Hubby being the boring guy he is opted for a burger. Oh but he mixed it up a bit by ordering a Bacon Burger! Woot! In any case he declared it cooked perfectly, and very good.
So now that I'm finished this wordful post, I'm sure you are salivating now, and singing the jingle...I want my babybacks....so "Pepper in some fun" and head to Chili's!
