A side holds a little over twice the topping's calories. The price table marks the $3.98 side price with an asterisk, and it is the one price on the board that looks out of line with the rest: the same chili costs $0.65 as a topping. Prices vary by store, so ask before you order.
What do reviewers say about the chili?
Daily Meal liked it. The reviewer noted the chili's slightly sweet tomato base on the Cook Out Style burger, and the Sun Herald's reviewer said the chili adds smoky depth. The side lets you eat that chili on its own or spoon it over fries, and Tasting Table calls the chili part of an award-winning topping combination.
Where does it fit in a lighter order?
One light build on the tray menu, the Simple Burger Tray, pairs a Small burger with onion rings and a side of chili for 537 calories. The chili adds protein, 5 grams, without adding carbs, which suits a low-carb order. The sodium is the cost.
Who should add a side of chili?
Low-carb eaters and chili fans, one tray side at a time. See the low-calorie guide for the full list.
