It has recently been announced that Chili Addiction will now be called The Addiction Bistro.  Whatever the name, I love this place.  It is an omnivorous restaurant with a large vegan menu (seen here).

I had never tried their Truffle Fries ($5), but decided to get them.  I love their fries, but I wasn’t getting a lot of truffle flavor in these.  I think the bottom fries ended up with most of that flavor.

I always get a Chili Cheese Dog ($5.95) when I come to Chili Addiction – er… The Addiction Bistro.  They always have two vegan chilis to choose from, with two different spiciness levels.  I got a soyrizo-based chili on my dog, which was good, but I think I like the bean based chilis better.  I also wish they were able to melt the vegan cheese a bit more, but they end up topping the chili with cheese right before serving.

My other favorite is the Chili Cheese Fries ($6).  This time I got it with a bean based chili.  I love this chili!  This one had a bunch of garbanzo beans – yum!  I can never find any recipes for chili like this.  Most chilis I see are the kind full of tomatoes.  I just want a nice beany chili – is that so hard to ask?  If anyone knows of any good recipes with limited or no tomatoes that are full of beans, please let me know.

On another visit to The Addiction Bistro, my vegan guy and I tried their Chili Cheese Nachos ($8).  They make their own tortilla chips, but I actually wasn’t such a fan of them.  It was nice to try, but I think I’ll stick with the chili cheese fries.
