Chili’sis perhaps most famous for its baby-back ribs, thanks to the restaurant chain’sinfectious jingle.

But, it’s really just a burger joint at heart.

Scan the menu and you will seethere are a lot of them!

Many of these come fully loaded with toppingsyou don’t call them “Big Mouth Burgers” for nothing!

Oh, and so many calories, too.

(Frankly, just seeing the numbers made me wary of ordering any of them!)

So, I enlisted my son and his friend to help me try every burger on the menu.

The burgers took up the entire table and we systematically sampled each one.

However, we did take the occasional “fry break” to cleanse our palates between burgers.

By the end of our lunch, we were all in a meat coma and ready for a nap.

The fungus was so populous that I couldn’t even taste the cheese!

In any case, we were unanimous in our dislike of the Mushroom Swiss Burger.

The boys both disliked the heat of thejalapenos.

BBQ Brisket Burger

This brisket-topped burger ($14.29) had just too much meat on it.

(Also, pickles, coleslaw, cheddar, and the house barbecue sauce).

“All I liked was the bun,” my son said.

I liked the addition of shredded lettuce, which differentiated it from the other burgers we tried.

“This is the best burger ever, it tastes so good,” my son said.

His friend added, “I liked it, but I would not like to bite it again.”

“I liked everything except the onion, but it tastes a little burnt,” said my son.

“I liked the crispy edges, but not the tomato,” noted his friend.

But, they were surprisingly deliciouslike a high-end appetizer that keeps you going back for seconds.

The combination of the cheese and the ranch was just so good, I went back for another bite.
