Steak 'n Shake lovers...secret uncovered

[steveinaz]

For those of you who know and love Steak 'n Shake, here's the secret to the chilli-3 ways:

Make some chilli and spaghetti noodles (I like Hormel w/beans). When it's done, put some in your bowl, pour a mound of catsup on top (about 2 tblspns) and a couple drops of Worchestershire. Stir it up.....BANG! Chilli-3 ways.

Taste exactly like Steak 'n Shakes.

I love getting a double cheeseburger with fries and a milkshake (or better yet a vanilla malt) from Steak 'n Shake, but I've never heard of chilli-3 ways. Is that just like their regular chilli? I've had that, and it is actually pretty good (I don't normally like chilli or anything resembling soup).

I also like to put their little octagonal crackers in my shake! :p

[warlocks1]

You put the crackers in your milkshake??? Never heard of that. I grew up on Steak 'n Shake in St. Louis. They don't have any in Washington DC.
Chili 3 ways is just that. Noodles (1), sauce (2) and chili (3).
Steve, I am going to try your receipe for Chili 3 ways this week. I can't wait!

I'm from STL originally broham. You're gonna freak out when you taste it. It's a perfect match.

[Disc Jockey]

I spent many years (20) in STL also. No Steak N Shakes out here and I miss em. I'll definately give the chili a try!

[steveinaz]

You'll love it man. Good stuff. I'm expecting reviews later gentlemen.

[Demiurge]

They're out of bidness around here.

[Shizelbs]

I think I just threw up in my mouth.

[Demiurge]

A little or a lot?

[RuSsMaN]

Yeah, vomit in a bowl, yippee!

Steak N Shake sucks.

We have them here in Pittsburgh. Their shakes are great! The strawberry shake is made with fresh fruit. It's great especially this time of year when strawberries are in season.

I like the Cincinnati chili. Get it 3, 4, 5 or 6 way. Love those toppings all over a plate of spaghetti.

Damn, now I'm hungry!

Steak N Shake.

Other than that character flaw, they're okay kids. :)

You put the crackers in your milkshake??? Never heard of that.
Yup. For some reasone, I really like the texture that mixture gives. For instance, not too long ago I was pretty hungry for a snack, but definitely not a meal, so I got a milkshake from Steak 'n Shake and got a bag of those crackers, too. Get a spoonfull of milkshake, put a cracker in it, and viola. I think it's really good.

I also like to grab four or five of their long fries and dip them in my milkshake, too.

I know, I'm weird. Everybody makes fun of me for doing that.

I'm all about Steak 'n Shake, but their fries blow....

prob the worst out there and what is it?.... $1.79 to add them to your burger?!?

the 3-way after a night's "merriment" is manna from heaven

btw fries and shakes are perfect bedfellows IMO

[Demiurge]

Nothing beats Kopps up here, nothing.

[audiobliss]

I actually like their fries, even when not dipped in milkshake. :p

maybe I'm more turned off by the add-on cost; I always feel that there is a Steak 'n Shakedown going on when I upgrade:D

You're a weird guy....:p

[Shizelbs]

Seriously, I dreamed that one of these things opened up near me out in Washington. I woke up crying.

from joy?

or infinite sadness?:D

[Shizelbs]

Sadness, trust me.

This whole thing reminds me of the Simpsons.

Homer-
Mmmmm, nuts and gum, together at last.

just because once in a while. i like to torture myself... i'll try this tonight.. ;)

[steveinaz]

there you go brother...post a review please.

[audiobliss]

did you enter the nerdness thread? also :D
Yeah. And I think I was fairly accurate in my self-examination. :p

[danger boy]

ok.. i did make the chili three way last night.. and believe it or not.. it wasn't half bad. a little light on flavor though. if you could kick it up with maybe spicy chili then it would be better.

I'd make it again... in about a year down the road. It certainly won't become a staple in my house though. :p

[Tim Staudinger]

we had S N S in florida where i was going to college ..... we only ate there when REALLY DRUNK after lacrosse games.....other than that NEVER. Treated it like Dennys

[Patrick C]

thats always when i used to go to steak and shake...in college after lacrosse games. Chocolate milkshakes always made the bruises feel better..lol

I worked at the Steak n Shake in Fairview Hts IL (STL area) in 1979. I worked in the back doing dishes and food prep. That was one of the things that cemented the need to go to college!

[steveinaz]

Being a STL native myself, I familiar with that area. Cool beans.
