A chili size is a classic American diner order: a hamburger patty served open-faced and smothered in chili con carne, sometimes with onions and cheese piled on top. It's the kind of no-frills comfort food that has a permanent home on laminated menus in roadside diners across the American West and Southwest. The name likely comes from sizing up a burger with a chili topping, making it a heartier, more indulgent version of the standard patty.
She ordered a chili size and a cherry Coke without even glancing at the rest of the menu.
