While you can always find us at artisan farmers markets and iconic events in the Greater San Antonio area, we’re also available for special events, from country weddings to corporate mixers. We custom design chilis as well as a delicious variety of gourmet comfort foods, such as our chilified smoked brisket, pork ribs and chicken, along with favorite sides like our 11-cheese mac-n-cheese, creamed corn, borracho beans with ham hocks and corn bread. Don’t forget to ask about our famous fresh fried hash brown bowls and the BEST DANG FRITO PIES in Texas!

Whether it’s chili, barbecue, gourmet hot dogs or even biscuits and gravy, we can pop-up our parlor for breakfast, lunch or dinner. For a fun treat, we can cook on-site, Chili Queen-style, over a flaming hot pit.

*Please note, all our chilis can be made mild to hot, depending upon your preference.


DEDICATED TO SOURCING LOCAL

Great chili starts with great ingredients, which is why we’re dedicated to sourcing the best local and organic ingredients, such as grass-fed and free-range products from farmers and ranchers we know and trust.

Vegan Chili (White or Red)

A best-seller, our rich vegan chili is made with seasonal veggies (such as a ton of roasted poblano and jalapeño peppers, carrots, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, garlic, cauliflower, beets, turnips, whole mushrooms, onions, yellow peppers and orange pepper), roasted in jalapeno avocado oil, in a rich red or white chili. Can be made gluten-free and dairy free. but traditionally comes with lima beans. We can even slow-cook our veggie chili over a charcoal pit.

What doesn’t go great with beer?! This malty, hatch-spiced chili goes well with just about anything, including pork, beef, chicken or veggies.

Champagne Chocolate Texas Red Chili (Specialty Batch)

This is our Cadillac of chilis! Made with a cherry-smoked Wagyu brisket that’s been marinated in a Texas champagne for two days then mixed with a fried dark chocolate chili paste of 80% cacao and JD’s original chili paste – this is the true heart of a Texas red. 

Angry Goat Chili

Our unequivocally delectable Angry Goat Chili is guaranteed to having you jumping for joy! It’s mesquite-smoked and infused with tequila, lime and fig. We use grass-fed, pasture-raised local goat meat that’s as flavorful as it is sustainable. This James Beard Award-worthy masterpiece represents the pinnacle of chili as an elevated dish.

GOURMET MAC-N-Cheese

Everyone goes gaga over our Mac! Our cheese sauce is a fantastic fusion of Mexican and Italian cheeses that includes mozzarella, queso quesadilla, parmesan, asadero, extra sharp cheddar as well as five others and a dollop of local honey from Holdman Honey.
