This was quite possibly the worst lunch ever… since the last time I ate at Chili Up. Chili Up! is a chili restaurant in the Crocker Galleria in downtown SF up on the top floor.
Yesterday was a really cold day and I was dying to eat something warm and filling so I thought I’d give the Chili Up a shot. I didn’t really want anything too heavy (like beef) so I opted for the chicken and corn chili, which was really rice and chicken, covered in sauce, covered in cheese, topped with a big handful of chopped red onion, cilantro and a lime.
Mmmm, doesn’t it look good? Well it doesn’t taste good, that’s for sure. This was the warmest blandest spoonful of grossness I’ve eaten in ages. Frankly, it was like putting a spoonful of warm, tasteless mush in your mouth…. no flavor, only the strong pungent-ness of the cilantro and onion.
Five hours after I finished eating this dish I was still burping up onions and tasting them in my mouth. Gross! I dont know what was in this “chili” but I will never eat it again!!
Here’s a shot of Crocker Galleria from the top floor.
