A restaurant with two names has to have a story behind it. This one certainly does, and it's a long one, involving legal wrangling and ownership of the name and the secret recipe but it isn't nearly as good as the chili itself. Hearty souls who consume the hottest "firebrand" version get to have their names posted on the wall. Here all walks of life dig into the pyrotechnic stuff.
