The last time i visited there was a place in the suburbs but not sure if it is still in business. Can someone confirm? If not can you suggest alternative places for chili in addition to Steak n' Shake?

It was about a half block west of the Hyatt (which used to be the Adam's Mark). Thu Jul 02 13:29:47 -0700 2009 4824905 12584 Doug 1 4825411 This link shows a menu for one in Florissant. I called the # but got a normal answering machine.... http://www.othodge.com/images/OTHmenu.pdf Further searching got me here- http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/28/321643/restaurant/St-Louis/Downtown/O-T-Hodge-Chile-Parlor-St-Louis Which shows a downtown location, also closed. I think the one in the county must have been one on Watson Road. I believe they may all be gone. I hear The Shaved Duck has a few different good Chilis...

Guess the person who owned the name wanted out or something. Anyway, this is the same place as O. T. - same wait staff, same menu everything. It's right next to Jimmie John's - can't remember the street name.
