[CH] There ought to be a law

There really ought to be a law against false advertising. Anytime a
business raises false hopes and expectations, then mercilessly dashes them
against the rocks.
What I am referring to is my latest trip to Chili's restaurant in the Kansas
City area. While this is one of my more frequent haunts - it does have
great food, Chili's theme, name, and about everything else associated with
the public image of the place are centered around the beautiful chile
pepper. They even have a pair of beautiful red blown glass chile peppers in
a display case there. What they are lacking, however, is any reference to
the blessed pepper in their cuisine. Everything there, although nicely
cooked, is severely lacking the "hot stuff". You'd think a place with a
name like that, a place who has pictures of the peppers everywhere, wouold
have at least one dish that is close to nuclear. But nah!
To top it off, when I asked the waiter to bring out a bottle of hot sauce,
all he could find was Tabasco. Arghhh!
