The O.T. Hodge Chile parlors seems to have received the largest number of votes as the best Chile of the century. Does no one remember that little parlor on Pine on the corner of 10th, 11th or maybe 9th street? I can't be sure that wasn't a Hodge store. I remember people crowded the counter.----Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I found this item of info on the net. Otis T. Hodge developed the recipe which bears his name and began selling chile at the St. Louis Worlds Fair in 1904. Success in this endeavor brought demand for a retail presence in St. Louis, which commenced upon closing of the Fair.
