Could you eat Mel's chili? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

seventies_sitcoms · 08-11-2005, 09:10 PM

If Mel's chili was so bad, why did people keep ordering it and sending it back if they already knew it was awful? That chili was his specialty too.

No wonder they thought it killed that food critic in the diner.

That chili was super thick and pasty looking. It looked like you could cement bricks together with that stuff.

I don't think I would want to eat anything from Mel's. His shirt was always chili stained.

I don't care if Flo was my waitress or not.

i think it was the only place in TOWN where you could get a bowl of chili - you HAD to eat it

Mr. Television · 08-11-2005, 11:51 PM

I could go for some now. The thicker the better.

I love chili, so yeah, I'd eat it.

You mean in the entire city of Phoenix Mel's was the only place that served chili? Well, I bet they have Wendy's.

I don't think Wendy's was serving chili back in those days. It's been around for only the last ten years, I believe.

Don't know exactly when Wendy's came out but I know my city didn't have one until the mid 1980's.

We got our Wendy's in the late 70's. It used to have that Victorian decor the chain had years ago.

They made the chili sound so bad on the show that it was almost irresistable to me to jump through the TV screen and eat a mess of it.

Ireneparalegal · 08-20-2005, 03:13 PM

You know how it is, something that is bad for you, makes you only want it that much MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "Mel, pass me some of that chili!!!!!"

Hi gang...

I think I would MUCH have preferred Carrie's chili...everyone at the diner liked her pies the best as I recall...

And if Flo would have served up the PIE...my OH my

I bet since it was Pheonix, that chili was EXCEPTIONALLY HOT...if that is the case, while I would LOVE to try to eat it just for the memories it would give me of seeing all those folks at the diner, I'd have to pass...

GREAT TOPIC

If somebody didn't want chili, I guess they could go down the street to Barney's Burger Barn or whatever it was called.

Ditto.

Regardless of what they said about Mel's, I'd try it.
