February 23rd is National Chili Day and the folks at Lovefood.com have done their homework and have rated the best restaurant chili in all 50 states.

Here’s the best chili you can get in each New England state

• Connecticut

  Award-winning Chili, The Vanilla Bean Café, Pomfret

  Beef is slow-cooked  and chunky veggies. It’s served in generous portions, and topped with tortilla chips, cheese and scallions.

• Maine

  Maine: Beef & Bean Chili, Sea Dog Brewing Company, various locations

  I can vouch for this chili! My wife and I traveled to the Saco, Maine location and it is incredible! It’s made with both beef and beans, and finished with plenty of pico de gallo, cheese and tortilla chips. While it’s just fine served from a bowl, it’s even better when piled onto a burger with plenty of sour cream and fried onions.

• Rhode Island

  Rhode Island: Seasonal Chili, Julian’s, Providence

  Mainly a brunch restaurant, but the seasonal chili is a must have and is always a customer favorite when it’s on the menu, maybe it should always be there!

• Vermont

  Vermont: Ribeye Chili, Langdon Street Tavern, Montpelier

  It’s made with chunky rib-eye steak and kidney beans, and the sauce is extra rich and smoky. So, if you’re heading to the Green Mountain State, this chili is a winter must have

• New Hampshire

  New Hampshire: 5-Alarm Chili, Red Arrow Diner, Manchester

  The Red Arrow Diner it’s become something of a New Hampshire institution. The menu is huge, but you can’t beat the 5-Alarm Chili which, as the name suggests, is extra hot. It typically comes smothered in cheese sauce and customers love it.

• Massachusetts

  Massachusetts: Texas State Penn Chili, All Star Sandwich Bar, Cambridge

  The name says Sandwich, but the chili is the real star of the menu. It’s Texas-style (that’s all brisket and no beans) and it’s got a real kick. Add some sour cream and have a big hunk of cornbread too!
