There’s nothing better than a warm bowl of chili on a cold day. It’s the ideal comfort food because there are so many varieties and ways it can be enjoyed. Straight up? Yes. Loaded with toppings? Even better. Served over your choice of carb? Now I’m seriously drooling. The Motor City is known for it on hot dogs, but these restaurants are the best places to grab a hearty bowl of chili…
