Lunch at Slim's Last Chance

 People who say Seattle has no soul or grit anymore should head to the south side to Georgetown. There are bars and restaurants where you can still feel those Seattle vibes of the late 90's, you just have to know where to go. My husband and I visited Slim's Last Chance for lunch. I'd heard amazing things about their chili and I wanted to taste it myself. They've been featured on the Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives", so I knew it would be really good. 

I started with one of their featured cocktails, a Huckleberry Hound. This colorful drink had Huckleberry Vodka and tasted sweet and refreshing. It paired well with my spicy chili. My husband had a Slim's version of an Old Fashioned. For our lunch, I chose a cup of the Brisket n' Bean. This chili had slow smoked brisket, ground beef, fire roasted tomatoes, and red beans. You can also choose toppings for an additional charge. I chose cheddar cheese and diced tomatoes. My husband ordered a cup of the Turkey and White Bean. It had ground turkey, white beans, serrano chilies, and was simmered in a hearty broth. We also shared an order of the cornbread which came with a side of honey butter. 

I wish I'd tried this chili sooner. There was thick and tender pieces of brisket and the heat from the fire roasted tomatoes really came through. But the melted cheese on top along with the fresh tomatoes sealed the deal. This chili was the perfect savory dish for a cold March day. The Turkey chili was lighter and didn't have as much flavor as the other. And the cornbread was nice and went well with our chili.
