Tolbert's Restaurant & Chili Parlor
Texas American
A bowl of red without a single bean in sight, served the way Frank X. Tolbert intended when he more or less rewrote the rulebook on Texas chili decades ago. This casual chili parlor in Grapevine keeps his recipe going, ladling out small and large bowls with cheese and crackers, or folded into a Frito pie if you're feeling committed. It's a reason to make the suburban drive, and Main Street has enough to browse while the chili lingers.

Chili
“But anyone who appreciates a good bowl of red needs to scoot their boots to Tolbert’s in Grapevine, where the chili conceived by Frank X.”

Frito pie
“Small and large bowls of this spice-laden concoction come with cheese and crackers, or you can order it in the form of a Frito pie, another Texas staple.”
