About Zippy’s Chili Copy-Cat
Forget McDonalds, Burger King and Jack in the box. Zippy’s is THE FAST FOOD OF HAWAI’I. Their chili is famous in the islands and a staple at many beach picnics. For fundraisers in high school, we even sold tickets for people to purchase buckets of these things. When I left Hawaii, I really missed this chili! After trying many copy cat recipes that failed to replicate the flavors of Zippy’s chili, I took bits and pieces of different recipes and so far, this is the closest I’ve come.
