ALASKA

 

COMMENTS: Do you ship to Anchorage, Alaska 99504?  If so, what the cost for 1 case of chili brick to included shipping cost?

ARIZONA

 

COMMENTS: I was on your website, and my mother used to use a chili brick when we were little and growing up (circa 1962 thru ?).  I am 57 now, and trying to find chili bricks.  The grocers don't seem to know what I'm talking about.  She would always use the brick (bought frozen) and then add to it.  There were 11 in our family.  Could you help me?

 

COMMENTS: On a recent trip to Las Vegas I purchased about six packages of the Dolores Chili Brick.  This product is very similar to the Chili Brick that I was able to purchase many years ago manufactured by another company.  I use this product in many of my home cooking recipes.  Since I purchased your product at a Food 4 Less store in Las Vegas, I was prepared to purchase the Dolores Chili Brick in Phoenix, Arizona (where I live).  To my surprise, Food 4 Less has closed all of their stores in Arizona.  I was wondering if I could purchase a case of the Dolores Chili Brick directly from you.

 

COMMENTS: I'm originally from Pasadena, CA and moved to Too Hot Tucson, AZ four years ago and have only found your delicious chili brick here once.  I tried looking for your product at the Albertson's store here but it can't be found.  Can you please tell me where I can find your chili out here?  Because these people do not know what REAL chili is without Dolores chili brick.  PLEASE HELP.

 

COMMENTS: Hello Dave, I moved from Southern California to Chandler, Arizona and cannot find the Dolores chili brick anywhere. Can you help me?

 

COMMENTS: I live in Peoria, AZ.  Where can I find you product?

 

COMMENTS: I live south of Tucson and I have visited the stores you have listed and I can't find Brick Chili to buy.  Got any suggestions?

 

COMMENTS: I took my brother with me to pick it up earlier today.  He is a captain in the fire department and he and his family will be trying it out this weekend with us.  If he likes it, he will cook up some for his crew.  I learned about your product earlier this week at a conference up in Las Vegas.  I was talking to a southern California chef about Tommy Burgers and he said that the Dolores chili brick was the closest that he had come to matching their chili.  Since we won't have a Tommy's in Phoenix for at least two years, I thought that I would try your product out.  Wow!  Was I surprised!  Yours is SO MUCH BETTER than Tommy's Chili!  Congratulations on a great product.  I am ordering some more now.

 

COMMENTS: Where can I buy you brick chili for my restaurant in Mesa, Arizona

 

COMMENTS: How may I buy your Chili Brick in Arizona? I live in Huachuca City, which is about an hour's drive south of Tucson.


COMMENTS: I'm inquiring about your brick chili in Phoenix, AZ area.  What stores carry your product?  We have a ranch market also Albertson's but can you give me the location of which stores.

CALIFORNIA

 

COMMENTS: Where can I buy your brick chili?  I am in Palm Desert, CA

 

COMMENTS: What store can I buy the chili brick at in San Diego?

 

COMMENTS: We have been using your Chili Brick on our hot dogs for a few years and find it to be the best hot dog sauce we've found since leaving Toledo, Ohio.  There is a chili hot dog restaurant there called "Rudy's" that's been in business since before I was born.  I was born in 1938, don't tell anyone!  At any rate, their hot dog sauce was not to be beat!  We've tried every chili sauce known to try to duplicate that taste and none came close.  Dolores Chili Brick is even better than Rudy's and that's a great compliment to your brand by our standards.  This morning I took a brick out of the freezer to thaw for lunch on some hot dogs.  I noticed your website address and went on line.  While visiting your website, I noticed you have a product called Chili Verde, my husband's favorite dish.  Where can we purchase this product here in Temecula??  We would really like to try it.

 

COMMENTS: I am seeking information in regards to possibly placing an order for some chili bricks. We are a new deli to be located in El Centro, and are currently looking for a chili sauce for our hot dogs and nachos. We are also looking for pickled pork skins. I would like to find the number of the nearest distributor.

COMMENTS: I had your chili at Philippe's in Downtown L.A. and I am interested in using it at my hot dog stand in La Canada.  I would like some information.

 

COMMENTS: Hi, I can't seem to find the chili brick anymore (here in Riverside County, CA (Moreno Valley Area).  I've been to Stater Bros., Food 4 Less, Albertsons...who has this Chili brick...I really love this brand of Chili Brick...please help!!! Thanks and God Bless.

 

COMMENTS: I recently went to Philippe's in downtown Los Angeles and had yet another bowl of straight chili, when I noticed on the wall that Dolores Chili is proudly served there.  I am very interested in purchasing your chili on a retail level.  I looked up your web site and found that I could purchase your chili at Von's, where I normally shop.  To my dismay I could not find it.  I'm hoping you can help me.  Where can I find it near me?  I Live in La Verne, CA and my zip is 91750.  Can you tell me where my nearest retailer is of your fantastic product?  I would appreciate any help you can give me.  I Love your Chili!!!!

The only local chili they have there which is HUGE to the Island is "Zippy's" and I can say for myself "NO COMPARISON"..OMG.......you have made their day, and ended their year with a BANG..!!!!!!!!!!!

 

COMMENTS: I've been out of California since 2006 and haven't had real chili since, they don't carry your brand on the island so this is a way for me to introduce some real chili, real flavor to the island of Oahu... Thank you so much for this awesome end to 2008... Thank you soooo much.

NEW MEXICO

 

COMMENTS: It has been quite a while since I last contacted you and made the order for some Chili Bricks.  We ran out some time ago and haven't gotten around to ordering more.  Are there any stores in the Albuquerque, NM area that carry your chili bricks?  If so would you please reply and let me know what the store names are.  I would appreciate it.  The family has been after me to purchase some more chili bricks and make some more home-made chili!  There is a Smith's store and an Albertson's store in Los Lunas, NM.  I haven't seen that they carry any chili bricks.  I would certainly drive to Albuquerque or even Santa Fe, NM to buy some.  If not, then I would like to order some from you directly as you did before if that is still acceptable!  I believe that I ordered a case of 32 chili bricks the last time and you were able to send it second day air. That worked out fine.

 

COMMENTS: I live in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  I am unable to find your products in the stores.  Perhaps you can tell me how to purchase Dolores foods on line or in a market here in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

NORTH CAROLINA

 

COMMENTS: I am inquiring as to how you would pack your Dolores Chili Brick to ship UPS ground to North Carolina. It seems to that during the shipping time the chili brick would spoil.

 

COMMENTS: Please tell me if there is a store in NC that I can go to that carries/sells Dolores Brick Chili.  I recently moved here from California and I can't find it anywhere.  I use it for a lot of different things.  Thank you!!!!  (My family misses it!) 

 

COMMENTS: I moved to Fayetteville, NC from L.A. in March of this year.  There are no chili bricks here.  I wrote to some one before I don't know if that was you.  They said that I might be able to get a case or so if I paid for the shipping and special handling.  Could you get back to me on this matter?  This is the second time that I'm writing you.  Thanks in advance.

 

COMMENTS: I was born and raised in LA and moved to Raleigh, North Carolina a couple years ago for work.  Is it possible to have some chili bricks shipped?   They don't have chili here like back at home. :)

OHIO

 

COMMENTS: I have recently moved to Worthington, OH 43085, from Los Angeles, CA and I am having trouble finding Chili Brick anywhere in Worthington.

 

COMMENTS: I want to help my sister find your Chili Brick in her area.  She lives in Painesville, OH, in the 44077 area code.  I served her some of this product over pasta with onions when she visited me here in Las Vegas.  I froze a few blocks to smuggle into Ohio in her luggage.  Now she has run out of this great product and she just hasn't been the same.  She needs a Dolores Chili fix real bad.  Can you help?  I will forward your reply to her.

 

 

COMMENTS: Hello, because I live in Los Angeles I've been blessed with the ability to be able to purchase your wonderful Chili.  When I had visited my relatives in Columbus, Ohio I made sure I took a sample of your Chili with me (THEY LOVED IT ! ! !). From that point forward I've got a great deal of people calling your Chili "West Coast Chili", and that's true , because the only name brand Chili they know of is called "Skyline Chili", but it will never taste as good as yours.  What I need to know is, is it possible to have your Chili shipped to Columbus, Ohio? I would pay the cost from here and you would ship it to my wife's residence?  Please let me know, because it's something I had promised I would try and do.

OREGON

 

COMMENTS: 40 years ago I bought brick chili at my local store in the San Joaquin Valley.  I never forgot how very delicious it was and found your webpage.  I have never been able to locate brick chili in Oregon.  I would like to place an order for your brick chili.  Please let me know the smallest quantity and shipping costs.  Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

COMMENTS: Are there any stores that sell your product in the Portland, OR or in Vancouver, WA area?  Thank you.

 

COMMENTS: We live in Salem, OR.  My husband drives truck and has hauled product out of your business.  He has brought home chili brick on rare occasions and we would like to have more as it is very good and convenient.  We are wondering if there are any stores in our area that stock this product.  He drives Portland to LA so can sometimes get to groceries there but we are not sure where to find the chili brick.  Do all the branches of the stores in southern CA listed on your web site carry it?

COMMENTS: I have been eating this chili forever.  I just moved from California to Texas and was heart broken when I was unable to find it out here.  I just came from California from visiting my family.  I made it my duty to buy 8 bricks before coming home.  I was hoping you can try and sell your product out this way.  I said I will give Texas a try and taste the Texas Chili brand chili and I have to say that is the saddest chili I have ever had.  I hope you can sell your product down this way.  I really think you can have a big come up when the Texans get a taste of this "Dolores Chili" out here.  Once again keep up the good work.

 

COMMENTS: Hi I love your chili.  I spoke to someone there years ago & lost contact.  I would love to order some chili.  It's not sold here.  Thanks.

 

COMMENTS: Where in the Fort Worth, TX area is the brick sold?

 

COMMENTS: I used to live in California (Los Angeles that is)...I bought your BRICK CHILI all the time and loved it.  Now I'm living in El Paso, Texas and your BRICK CHILI is nowhere to be found.  How can I get some of your good tasting BRICK CHILI here...I just love it.  All they have here is canned chili which I do not like, it tastes awful.  So, how can I get some here?

P.S. Can I hear from you ASAP?
