Thu Jul 29 03:15:02 -0700 2004 0 Tari 1 329164 I don't know if they have the best, but you probably want to try Tommy's. These meet your heart attack requirement though. haha Ruby's has really good chili fries. Thu Jul 29 03:28:35 -0700 2004 329161 0 In-N-Outer 2 329173 Tops in Pasadena servers up huge portions of chili cheese fries, though I prefer them without the cheese. Two locations, corner of Allen and Walnut and on Colorado in the extreme east side of town. Thu Jul 29 10:24:13 -0700 2004 329164 0 martyR 2 329178 Tommy's may not be the best, but they are unique! Just wish I could get the taters extra crispy each and every time. As a former OC'er, my fave version was at Anita's Broiler in Fountain Valley. They'd knew to do my fries really well done...good meaty chili, no beans, decent little kick. Lots of cheese, fresh chopped onions...and the portion is pretty good sized. Mmmmm...it's breakfast time, but I'm thinking an order right now would go down good!

Thu Jul 29 23:19:31 -0700 2004 329164 0 KinLA 1 329172 The best I've found are at The Hat, on Atlantic, in Montery Park. Meaty chilli, lots of cheese and pretty good fries. Thu Jul 29 10:23:09 -0700 2004 329161 0 MonkeyBrains 1 329216 high-life burgers in south pasadena has great chili cheese fries. 2 types of cheese, and good no bean chili that doesn't overwhelm the fries. sometimes i go and order just the large chili cheese fries, and still can't finish it. Thu Jul 29 13:15:58 -0700 2004 329161 0 smssms 2 329220 Hi-Life Burgers also has GREAT ranch dressing for their fries. Thu Jul 29 13:18:47 -0700 2004 329216 0 ipse dixit 3 329260 i don't know - i always thought their ranch dressing tasted watered down. i usually ask for their salsa, and dip the chili cheese fries in it, alternating with ketchup. sloppy but good! Thu Jul 29 14:33:12 -0700 2004 329220 0 smssms 1 329227 I don't think I would drive very far to get an order of chili cheese fries, I would probably just go to the nearest Johnny Rocket's...they're decent Thu Jul 29 13:28:41 -0700 2004 329161 0 HDK 2 329246 Johnny Rockets has solid food. Their chili cheese fries are tasty!!! Thu Jul 29 13:58:28 -0700 2004 329227 0 WTW 1 329233 My favorite would be Pink's. You can get it with either American cheese or nacho cheese...either way is great. Thu Jul 29 13:38:06 -0700 2004 329161 0 Six_of_One 1 329259 I'm with Johnny Rockets. Thu Jul 29 14:33:09 -0700 2004 329161 0 2chez mike 1 329294 Has anyone mentioned The Hat? They're the best! Go hungry and add a large root beer to wash them down. Thu Jul 29 17:14:59 -0700 2004 329161 0 Jessica 2 329345 Yep, but get that cherry soda they have. I love root beer, but THE HAT is the only place that has the cherry drink. Thu Jul 29 22:58:04 -0700 2004 329294 0 Dorothy 1 329589 While not typical chili cheese fries like Johnny Rockets or Tommy's, consider the Soul Fries with chile at Chili My Soul in Encino? The fries come with your choice of chili (a selection of 10 flavors daily) and three toppings. If you want a lot of cheese, you can make all three toppings cheese, choosing from cheddar, jack and parmesan. The Soul Fries are spirals with a light cayenne spice. They're very tasty, but I order them "well done," since I don't like my fries on the soggy side. Sat Jul 31 17:16:14 -0700 2004 329161 0 jwsel
