Chili My Soul - What's your favorite?

The Food Finds episode has brought more renown to this Encino "hot" spot, and it doesn't look like the positive press will stop there. I'm hoping they continue their plans to expand to other locations. For those chili-heads out there, I was wondering what your favorite type of chili was?

I'm partial to a bowl of half-Habanero/Mango Chicken and half-Poblano Turkey (there's a name of this combination, but I don't remember it offhand). My toppings are cilantro, swiss and pumpkin seeds.

    I don't have a specific favorite, but was there twice in the last few weeks to pick up for family members. DH's dinner was almost $20 and I see they're not giving you the carrots and celery sticks with the awesome dipping sauce any longer. The guy behind the counter was definitely not an asset either.

      I like beef and no beans in my chili so I like Texas Pride and Durango also. Just add soomeonions and Garlic bread. Once in a while have some fries to go along if I am really hungry.

        Actually I like the Habanero Mango mixed with Chicken Royale better -- the Poblano Turkey was a bit too smoky... but my all time favorite is the Texas Pride over fries!

          I love the chopped salad.

            The Mango/Habenero and Poblano Turkey split is called 'the Mindy Remix'... after Mindy, of course.
            Mango/Habenero is my absolute fav flavor there, but Texas Pride, Durango, and a bunch of others come close. Tasting all the samples is half the reason to go.
            Even though everybody who works there swears by how great they are, I've always found the veggie varieties to be so-so. Then again, I'm an avowed carnivore!

              I love my chili in a lavash wrap.

              Mango habanero chicken with sour cream, cilantro, and monterey jack.

                It's hard to top the Texas red. Good heat without overpowering the flavor.
