I can still taste the Fire Brand Chili…that was a classic. When I came to Texas the Texans thought that being from the North that I did not know about hot chili. They could have never stood up to the original Fire Brand.
a comment was made about the Dew having Fire Brand chilli.If I’m not mistaken that was the Den chilli parlor on East South Grand that had the fire Brand not the Dew.”I Do miss the Dew”
Great place – my Dad took me there regularly when I was a kid. I remember a figurine of an old sway-back horse behind the counter with a sign next to it saying something like “if only this old boy had a bowl of Dew chili…”
This is the place my dad took me in the 60’s. I think he went there when he was a kid. Anyway, the chili was great. It had some kind of oil with meat floating in the center of the bowl when served. Wish I had the recipe. It had a creamy type of flavor.
I remember Joe & May who Owned the Dew and Rita who worked there for many years and was the last owner…the Dew pictured was Dew #2 and the Dew mentioned behind the Downtown Post Office was Dew #1….prior to the Dew#2 being built in front of Joe’s house, it was located between Cook and Lawrence on 5Th Street..next to Pontiac Dealer.
I grew up on Dew chilli (plus the tamalies, of course). I know the original recipe is lost to history, but has anyone be able to even come close to the taste?? Would love the recipe!!

I remember going to the Dew When it was behind the Post Office downtown. My Dad liked what I believe was a Double Header {Chilli plus Tamalies.
