THE RECORD

identity

It is distinct from a chili-topped hot dog or packaged chili sold inside the warehouse. [1] [2]

THE RECORD

history

The Folsom menu photograph dated September 7, 2018 already includes the chili, and the September 29 kiosk still lists it. A December 30 diner report names Marlboro, New Jersey, as another location, where it had replaced the al pastor salad. The reported seasonal explanation remains secondhand rather than a verified national schedule. [1] [2] [3]

THE RECORD

nutrition

The photographed Folsom board prints a range of 450 to 600 calories. The reviewed image does not establish which optional components account for that range, so no single calorie total or midpoint is assigned. Serving weight, full ingredients and a detailed nutrient panel remain unresolved. [1]

THE RECORD

prices

Both September Folsom photographs show the historical bowl price listed below. Their capture dates are menu observations, not a price-change announcement. [1] [2]

THE RECORD

distinctions

Blount and Stephen’s 2019 tasting found the chili mild and bean-heavy. That is the reviewers’ assessment of their serving, not a national recipe specification or evidence for why the item later left any menu. [4]
