For over thirty years, this tiny spot, The Texas Chili Parlor, has dealt out 'bowls of red,' Texas chili in three heats (X, XX and XXX) with no beans! Oh, they have other items: burgers, enchiladas. Lots of cold beer. Steeped in tradition and easily accessible from the Capitol (it's between 14th and 15th on Lavaca) and the University, it has fueled political deals, students and UT football fans since 1976. I snapped this picture of the modest front one day as we headed from downtown to the University on a museum crawl. It opened shortly after I made Austin my hometown forever!
