Our Story

Second Place. First in Flavor.

Stone Canyon's Best and Only Hot Dog Choice.

1976

It Started in Terlingua

In 1976, our chili recipe competed at The Original Terlingua International Chili Cookoff — the most prestigious chili competition in the world.

We took second place. Out of hundreds of entries, from pitmasters and chili legends across the country, our recipe stood on that podium.

We've been putting that chili on hot dogs ever since.

Terlingua, Texas

What Is Terlingua?

The Original Terlingua International Chili Cookoff has been held in the remote West Texas desert since 1967. It's not a county fair competition — it's where the best chili makers in the country go to prove themselves.

Second place at Terlingua isn't a consolation prize. It's a credential.

Simple Done Right

We don't have a complicated menu. We have two items, a handful of toppings, and a chili recipe that earned its reputation the hard way.

Bring you pets, loved ones, booze, attitude, charm, wisdom, and money!
