100 years ago, in 1922, Mike’s Chili Parlor opened in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. Have you been there?
Mike’s Chili Parlor serves many variations of two things: burgers and chili, a family recipe that’s been passed down through oral tradition.
Semandiris thinks the simple menu and low overhead are part of why they’ve stayed afloat for a century.And owning the property doesn’t hurt. In 2006, 84-year-old Edith Macefield made international news when she turned down a million dollars from developers, refusing to move out of her little Ballard house. So they built a big shopping center around her. Mike’s Chili Parlor is right across the street from Edith’s old house and they were also made an offer.
Semandiris speculates that his family’s chili is an Americanized version of a Greek meat sauce called kima.
