Dixie Chili

Dixie Chili is a family-owned business, founded in 1929, that serves its recipe in the traditional ways, but also atop salads, baked potatoes, in soups, and in a six-way that adds fresh-chopped garlic to the typical five-way. Pro tip: try a “gator in the mud”, or a coney with a pickle “gator” topped with chili “mud”!

Try Camp Washington’s unique 513-way, which swaps the traditional spaghetti for goetta, a crispy fried loaf composed of pork and pinhead (steel-cut) oats. Camp Washington Chili is open 24 hours a day, six days a week.
