This big, cartoonish, festive Theater District restaurant adjacent to Dave Letterman's Ed Sullivan Theater is a great choice for a casual and affordable meal, especially if you have the kids in tow. The big, hearty chili bowls are geared to young palates, which tend to be suspicious of anything unfamiliar. The extensive list of chili choices is clearly marked by spice level, from the traditional Abilene with ground beef, tomatoes, basil, and red wine (mild enough for tenderfeet) to the Texas Chain Gang, which adds jalapeños to the mix for those who prefer hot. In addition, expect familiar favorites like nachos, chicken wings, big salads, and generous burritos and burgers. It's really hard to go wrong here -- even vegetarians have lots to choose from. A fun place to eat!
