These titles are getting wittier –except for the Ziggies one, Ziggies just sucks. Oh yeah and I realized I’m a day behind, my bad. Real Chili is well documented for its health code violations, and problems people have with that place. The fact that half the employees may or may not be recreational drug users cause any problems? Granted Real Chili probably has some of the best food on campus, but still their violations go way back, and yes this is the second campus food place This is everything that the JS has posted on them through the years:

• All food must be protected from cross-contamination. There were many boxes of raw hamburger meat stored above containers of cooked chili in walk in cooler. Properly store all raw meats below and away from creaky to eat foods.
• Potentially hazardous food must be held hot at 135 degrees or above. Hot dogs stored in a container were found sitting on top of the hot hold unit at 121°F .
• The slicer in the kitchen was seen with an accumulation of old food debris. Break down slicer completely, clean and sanitize to remove all food debris.
• There is an ice scoop in the beans that has a broken handle and is no longer cleanable. Replace scoop.
• The faucet in the ladies room is spraying water out of the sink and onto the floor. Repair the faucet to function properly.
• The sanitize solution at the 4 compartment ware wash sink was found at 0ppm. Properly set up and maintain the sanitize compartment of the sink to the proper concentration. For chlorine based (bleach) sanitizer it should be set up to 100ppm.
• Ready-to-eat potentially hazardous food held for more than 24 hours must clearly marked to indicate the day by which the food is to be consumed on the premise, sold, or discarded. Use food within 7 days or discard
• There were several dead roaches seen in the basement under the shelves in the westerly room and in the southeast corner of the westerly room. Remove dead cockroaches and maintain effective pest control
• An open bag of mouse and rat poison was seen in the basement near the stairs, partially covered by a box of food service supplies. Discontinue use of rodent bait pellets unless used in a locked and covered trap.

This place had generally good food as well, but it was always a bit dirty. I think out of all the places on campus I’ve eaten at this one most recently, even knowing the above.
