Dolores Chili and Philippe’s have a relationship built upon time. The 1970’s is where it all began and Dolores Chili is still the exclusive chili sold at Philippe’s. Both establishments have plenty in common being family-owned and Los Angeles-based. Dolores and Philippe’s are run by third and fourth generation family members, respectively, and both are built with the intent of hard work and core values that make them so great.
Philippe’s, being one of the oldest and best known restaurants in Southern California, is renowned by its chili, which pairs well with any of their signature French Dips, including: beef, pork, ham, lamb, turkey and pastrami.
Dolores Chili is available at Philippe’s daily by the cup or bowl, with or without beans, shredded cheddar or onions, and is served with a side of crackers. Some French Dip lovers even like to dip or top their sandwich with the chili.
Dolores Chili is made at Dolores Canning Co. located in East Los Angeles. The Dolores Chili Brick is sold in 16 oz. packages in grocery stores throughout the West Coast, including: Ralph’s, Food 4 Less, Stater Brothers, Vons, Albertson's and Walmart. Another option is a five-pound tray for larger entertainment feasts like the big game at Smart & Final. They also offer chicken and vegetarian versions. For a list of stores by location, visit 
The award-winning Dolores Chili - both beef and chicken - has been available at several Smart&Final stores throughout Southern California for decades, but the addition of the 1-pound beef chili into all Smart&Final stores is exciting for chili lovers everywhere.
Smart&Final has carried the 5-pound Dolores Chili tray. However, the smaller, 1-pound brick is favored by those who are looking to use it to feed fewer as a topping on burgers, hot dogs or for a side dish to complement other items.
Dolores' all beef chili is seasoned to perfection, with a hint of spice at Dolores Chili's manufacturing plant in Los Angeles.
The 1-pound brick can be found in the frozen section at Smart&Final stores.
Founded in 1871, Smart & Final is a truly unique company, combining today’s state-of-the-art technologies and management practices with the historical perspective of one of the West’s pioneer companies. It prides itself in being the one-stop place for everyone’s cooking, entertaining and clean-up supplies.
