Lived in CA for a year and wasn't impressed. Went to a few different In-n-Outs in So Cal. Did I go on the wrong day of the week?

Did you try a chili burgers in LA? Half the time, I would not make it to the Apple Pan because the Tommy Burger on Lincoln would ensnare me. Tommy Burgers is a chain but it had some great chili burgers and chili fries. It is hard to find a good picture of one because they were such glorious messes. Here is how I remember them:

Here are the chili fries:

Note: Eat them quick before the red grease melts the wax paper, wax carton and card board tray.

Triple Cheese with Chili Fires

As soon as you unwrap the Triple Cheese Burger from it's greasy translucent paper your entire body will be covered in their world famous Chili. It kind of just explodes on you like your heart does after you eat it. Mmm

Here is the original location in the Rampart District (You just know the Adam 12 squad ate here) :

Here in Tulsa, I can get my chili fix it Ike's Chili House. Hold the tomatoes and beans:

IkesChiliTulsa

Founded in 1908, it is the oldest chili house that I have found.

A regular patron of Ike's in Tulsa, Will Rogers really did call chili "a bowl of blessedness" and once turned down a banquet meal before a speaking engagement at the Mayo Hotel, saying "I can always eat chicken, but I can't always eat at Ike's."

For Chili burgers, we have Ron's. Just dig for a while and the burger will be rescued:
