You might hate it, but our local chili with notes of cocoa and cinnamon (though not "sweet") is part of the experience! Don't get a bowl; order a "3-way" with spaghetti covered with chili and cheese.

This is the nearest grocery store, just around the corner. Selection isn't great but it's ok in a pinch. We usually go to the Newport Kroger Marketplace.
