Slim’s Last Chance Chili Shack and Watering Hole on First Avenue South in Seattle’s Georgetown neighborhood has been serving house-made chili, BBQ, and the kind of unpretentious bar food that earns a neighborhood reputation well before any camera shows up. It appeared in Season 6, Episode 4 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “A Burger, a Bowl and a Slice,” which aired April 27, 2009. Guy Fieri found a kitchen building serious chili in a setting that looked like exactly what a chili shack in a Seattle industrial neighborhood should look like: corrugated tin, neon, old bar signage, and a chili program that punched well above its surroundings.
