We’re in our last single digit week of hot dog eating and this week we’re headed out to the Last Chance Bar & Grill to sample their Chili Cheese Dog.
And this week we’ve got not one, not two, but three special guest stars! Let’s make tracks and start this doggone ninth week of hot dog fun!
Here we are at the Last Chance Bar & Grill. We’ve done several posts here through the years and I always like to get a shot of the neon sign on the back of the building.
Okay, let’s go in and start week number nine of this hot-diggity-dog tour!
There’s the bar and I see some familiar faces over at that table in the front dining room…
I told you we were being joined by three guest stars today and here’s the first two, Leah and Don! They’re both looking fantastic and it’s always wonderful to see them and have them along for a blog post!
Our friend Nancy was the third guest star of the day and she showed up a little later and I forgot to get her photo when she showed up, so through the magic of Photoshop, I’ve put a photo I took of her a while ago into the Leah and Don photo and presto! There’s this week’s trio of fabulous guest stars for our ninth week of devouring hot dogs!
Debra was our friendly and pretty waitress for the afternoon and she happily posed for the MBIP Camera! She has a great sense of humor and was a wonderful addition to the afternoon!
While our lunch was being prepared, I abandoned everyone to go take my photos, hey, it’s what I do!
There’s a gaming area off in the corner of the front dining area for all of you gamblers out there!
I love the bar in here and I think it might just be the longest bar in Peoria. I need to research this!
There’s another dining area in the back here and here’s two photos of it from the front and back of the room.
And they have a festive beer garden in the back that’s open all year long. Very nice!
Meanwhile, back at our table…
Lunch has arrived!
Nancy and Leah each got a Taco Salad which is served in a massive toasted tortilla bowl and don got the Tamale Pie, which is also a large and tasty looking portion!
I got the Chili-Cheese Dog and French Fries and the hot dog is topped off with a river of melted cheese and chili!
Everything looks fantastic! Time to dig in!
Nancy, Leah and Don all raved about their selections. Last Chance always serves up delicious food and today was no exception to this tasty rule.
And now, on to the star of this lunch, the Chili-Cheese Dog. I tried to pick it up, but the weight of the chili and cheese made it impossible and as you can see, it caused the bakery-fresh bun to crack under the weight!
Time to Improvise!

Photos by Nancy!
I had to take a knife and fork to this monster of a Chili-Cheese Dog and Nancy took a couple photos of me slicing this dog up!

Photos By Leah!
Leah took some additional photos of this wiener slicing event! Thanks to both Nancy and Leah for helping out with photo duty here on the blog!
The Chili-Cheese Dog and Fries were fantastic and you can read more about them in the rating and review below.
Ashley prepared our wonderful and tasty lunches and she came out to say hi and posed for a photo with Debra!
Ashley has been with Last Chance for quite a while and she remembered me coming out for the MBIP Tenderloin Tour. I can’t believe it, but I looked that up and that was over 11 years ago! Click here to see that post and see photos of Ashley behind the bar back then! Wonderful to see her again and catch up on things!

Hot Dog Rating
This was a challenging Chili-Cheese Dog to eat, but once I dug into it with a knife and fork, it was a delicious treat! The chili was tasty and savory and was balanced nicely by the rich and creamy melted cheese. The hot dog was all beef and the bun was bakery fresh!
I’ll give the Last Chance a well deserved rating of three and a half Wienermobiles!
Thanks to Ashley, Debra and everyone at the Last Chance Bar & Grill for the nice hospitality and the delicious lunch!
And thanks to Leah, Don and Nancy for joining me and being the special guest stars of the afternoon. It was a blast and wonderful to hang out with all of you!
