Suggested new law: Every hamburger restaurant must have a pot of chili dog sauce

Many people do not know of the absolute awesomeness of chili burgers. Yes, they are exactly what they sound like: a hamburger with a scoop of chili on it. And I guarantee, if you could get a chili burger at McDonalds or Burger King people would eat the hell out of them after they tried their first one. Wendy's has chili but it's the wrong chili for chili burgers; you need the same kind you'd use for chili dogs.

So, how can it be made a law that all burger joints need some chili on hand?

Most places that serve burgers already have either chili or chili dog sauce.

It's where the leftover burgers go.

at Whataburger: two beef patties, American cheese, corn chips, diced onions, and mustard, all topped with their signature beef chili on a toasted bun. I ate one. It was one billion calories. Had enough sodium to turn Lake Michigan into the Dead Sea. And it was frightfully delicious, especially with the crunch of the Fritoes and chopped onions.

I hope I get to eat one more before I die, and that it won't kill me.

It's been a thing around here since before I was born.
