Homemade Chili in Bellflower

Chili is its own food group at Omega Burgers. It goes on dogs, on fries, on burgers, and it also comes in a bowl. You can order Homemade Chili four ways: the Homemade Chili Bowl, the Homemade Chili with Beans, the Homemade Chili with a Tamale, and the Homemade Chili Size.

The Homemade Chili Bowl is the plain version, a bowl of the house chili with nothing added. If you want to taste the chili on its own, or you are ordering it as a side to something else, this is the one.

The Homemade Chili with Beans is the same bowl with beans inside. Beans are the only addition, so expect it to eat a little thicker and more filling than the plain bowl.

The Homemade Chili with a Tamale is the one to look at if you want a meal in a bowl. It is a bowl of chili with a tamale inside. The tamale sits in the chili and soaks it up, which turns the bowl into something you need a fork for, not just a spoon.

Then there is the Homemade Chili Size, which is not a bowl at all. It is 2 chopped hamburger patties on a toasted hamburger bun topped with beans and chili. It is an open-faced, knife-and-fork plate: burger patties chopped up on the bun, beans over them, chili over everything. Of the four, this is the one to order when you want a full dinner.

Each of the four can be made a combo, which includes small fries or a regular salad and a medium soda. For the bowls, fries make sense as something to dip. For the Chili Size, a regular salad is the lighter balance. On a cool evening in Bellflower, a bowl of chili and a Grilled Cheese Sandwich is a good patio order.
