CHILI
Minnesota Wild Rice Soup
Featured in Bon Appetit, our broth-based wild rice soup is our own unique blend of long-grain Minnesota wild rice and white rice mixed with chunks of chicken in a homemade stock with fresh vegetables and selected seasonings.
Pinto’s Diablo Chili
A favorite here in the Twin Cities. Created by Pinto, (a favorite of ours in his own right) and requested by Gourmet magazine. This is a ground beef, kidney bean, and veggie chili that is very hearty and pleasantly spiced. Topped with sour cream, cheese, and onions and served with Texas toast. Medium spice. A Minnesota-Born Chili!
Pecos River Red
This is the only chili that can be ordered in three distinct classifications of spiciness. Lean, cubed sirloin steak and onions along with Tex-Mex spices and chili peppers. Topped with sour cream, cheese, and onions, and served with Texas toast. Mild, medium, or hot. A classic Texas-style chili.
