Dolores Chili Brick, simply known as Dolores Chili and dubbed “L.A.’s Favorite Chili” has been satisfying palates for over 50 years.
In the past, Dolores Canning Co., the East Los Angeles-based manufacturer of Dolores Chili has sponsored the California State Chili Championship.
From 2010-2011, Dolores Chili also participated at off-road racing events, 5K and 10K runs, cook-offs, church fairs and cancer walks in LA, San Bernardino and Orange counties sampling the famous chili, demonstrating recipe preparation, and handing out promotional items.
During the remaining 2011 and into 2012, Dolores Chili is more aggressively hitting the streets. The calendar is filling up with more runs, walks, street fairs and various events.
At each event, Dolores Chili sets up a 10 x 10 booth and samples enough chili and promotional products for a single or multiple day gig.
"We enjoy getting out in our local area, to meet & greet our Dolores Chili fans and to give back to those who buy our product. We love to support events that benefit the community", said David Munoz, company President.
Chili Fritos and a straight “cup of red” are two popular items sampled during events at the Dolores Chili booth.
Booth visitors will receive coupons, and promo items and gear such as mouse pads, pens, key chains and T-shirts.

Chili Brick Moves to No. 2 Spot in LA Area Meat Department Sales
Ground beef, steaks, chicken breast, lunch meat, sausage and Chili Brick.
Last fall Dolores Chili Brick was ranked No. 3 amongst these items stocked in Southern California's Food 4 Less fresh meat cases. This month, Kroger, the parent company of Food 4 Less and sister store Ralphs, announced the Chili Brick was now No. 2. Just behind front-runner Oscar Meyer, the all beef, 20-ounce Chili Brick topped the sales reports at the end of the fourth quarter for the Food 4 Less stores in the L.A. area.
“We’re starting to make a hype in grocery store meat departments. When people don’t see our product, they’re asking for it, and when it’s there, they’re buying it,” said David Muñoz, Dolores Canning Co. president.
The Chili Brick’s continued popularity at Ralphs and Food 4 Less has placed it alongside top selling national brand items providing excellent value for consumers.
The frozen, fully cooked Chili Bricks are sold for $4.29, and one brick can serve four to six people. Chili and rice bowls, chili dogs, chili burgers, chili cheese fries or nachos or a straight cup or bowl are the most popular ways it’s served.
It is raved about on blogs, recipes, and Facebook and Twitter posts. Some fans, friends and followers say the chili is the base of their homemade recipes. Countless fans from around the country get their “Chili fix” weekly by ordering Dolores Chili on-line.
Dolores Canning Co., the manufacturer of the Chili Brick, sells its product in grocery chains beyond Food 4 Less and Ralphs. Albertson’s, Bristol Farms, Stater Bros. & Vons stores also carry the Chili Brick.
Foodservice distributors and club stores like Smart & Final and Restaurant Depot carry the larger size, 5-pound tray. Restaurants such as Philippe the Original, in Downtown L.A., have featured the famous chili on their menu for nearly 40 years. National distributors such as Sysco, carry the Chili Brick and distribute to restaurant chains and independent establishments.
In late 2010, Dolores introduced the chicken Chili Brick made from 100 percent chicken and the same family recipe as the beef brick. Those bricks have hit shelves at Superior and Bristol Farms’ locations as of now.
Distributors carry the chili and distribute to restaurant chains and independent establishments.
Dolores Canning Co. is a family owned, third generation, minority owned business. The company has been making the famous Dolores Chili Brick since 1973 at its East Los Angeles plant. Dolores Chili can be purchased on-line at https://dolorescanning.com/catalog/.

Restaurant Depot Offers New Chili Option, Dolores
The simplest, traditional ingredients, which made the Dolores Chili Brick® famous and many restaurant’s chili and menu items stand out, has been in Restaurant Depot and Jetro stores for years.
Restaurant owners, cooks and chefs have been using Dolores (all beef) Chili Brick® to bring their own chili and menu items to life since the 80’s.
It was a no brainer when Dolores Chili’s President, David Muñoz, and Sales Manager, Bert Muñoz, introduced the Chicken Chili Brick® in late 2010. “The same consistency, but a great alternative for those who prefer chicken,” said David. “The chicken chili can be used for different, creative menu items.”
The Chicken Chili Brick® is made from 100 percent chicken and all of Dolores’ famous family spices. Like the beef brick, it is pre-cooked, frozen and ready to heat and serve.
Restaurant owners use it to top off their burgers and dogs, bring the flavor to their Chili Cheese Fries and for creative ‘chili and rice’ or ‘chili over pasta’ items.
Select stores across Southern California stock the Chicken Chili Brick® next to the beef brick in the 5-pound brick or 20-pound tray options.
Since the chicken bricks just hit shelves last week, Restaurant Depot is offering 10 percent off list price at participating stores.

Dolores Chili will host ‘Free Cup of Chili Day’ at Philippe the Original
Like many other chili makers, Dolores Chili is devoted to its family recipe since they began manufacturing the famous Dolores Chili Brick in 1973.
But what also sets them apart from the competition, aside from their unique brick shape and flavor, is their reputation for being “L.A.’s Favorite Chili.”
Last year was a successful one for the maker of the foodservice and retail-sized all beef, pre-cooked and spiced Chili Bricks. Their market expansion included bricks on shelves at all Southern California Vons locations, and a stronger presence in other stores such as Food4Less, Ralphs, Albertsons and Stater Brothers. They also introduced a new product; a chicken Chili Brick, which was on shelves in all Bristol Farms and Superior Grocers within weeks of introducing the product.
And for decades, the all-beef chili has been ‘proudly served’ by the cup or bowl at Philippe the Original in Downtown L.A.
“Everybody loves the chili,” said Philippe’s restaurant manager, Elias Barajas.
To celebrate their 2010 milestones and their partnership with Philippe’s, Dolores Chili will host a ‘Free Cup of Chili Day,’ at Philippe’s on Tuesday, January 18, 2011.
The first 500 guests, starting at 11 a.m., who accept a voucher available at either of Philippe’s entrances can present them at the counter for a free cup of chili with the purchase of any sandwich.
Philippe’s is located at 1001 North Alameda Street, Los Angeles, across from Union Station.
“This is our way of giving back to all of our chili fans, and to the fans of Philippe’s who we have had a strong partnership with,” said Dolores Chili president David Muñoz.
Dolores Chili Brick is shipped each week to countless retail stores, foodservice companies and restaurants nationwide. Although, it built its reputation in L.A. where their plant is located, people across the nation and globe request and order the chili in their city every day. Dolores Chili ships Chili Brick six-packs each week to locations such as Anchorage, Boston and Chicago. For more info about Dolores Chili please visit, www.LAsFavoriteChili.com.

Dolores Introduces A New Chicken Chili
For over 35 years, Dolores Chili, often referred to as L.A.’s Favorite Chili (www.lasfavoritechili.com), has been stealing the show across Southern California. Since 1973, Dolores Canning has produced the frozen all-beef chili known as the Dolores Chili Brick.
Now, for the first time since its inception, there is a new brick to brag about. David Munoz, Dolores Canning Co. President and cousin Bert Munoz, Dolores’ Sales Manager will introduce a new Chicken Chili Brick this month.
The original, Beef Chili Brick’s new shelf mate is a 100 percent Chicken product, fully cooked and seasoned with the same Dolores spices that made the original brick famous.
“Our new Chicken Chili Brick is a great alternative for those who prefer chicken and it maintains a healthy balance. Our new chili has low sodium, low cholesterol and absolutely no MSG,” said David.
The original Chili Brick made of all-beef chili, completely spiced and ready for use is often to blame for a delicious scent filling the air near restaurants, fast food chains, hot dog and hamburger stands and chili cook-offs in So Cal and beyond.
The 20-ounce and five-pound packages of Dolores Chili Brick are currently sold in major grocery store chains such as Albertson’s, Food 4 Less, Vons, Ralphs and Smart & Final. The all-beef chili is also featured on Philippe the Original’s (downtown L.A.) menu.
The company plans to market the new Chicken Chili to their existing accounts in the same size packages. For the past three months the Chicken Chili has been in limited distribution at select foodservice accounts and at Bristol Farms locations.
The company also services a growing web clientele, “Each week we receive inquires from across the country requesting Dolores Chili,” said Bert." "Many people who grew up here in Southern California and now live in different parts of the country need to know how they can get their favorite chili from back home. This week alone we shipped orders of our famous Chili to Anchorage, Boston, and Chicago."
Eventually, they hope the Chicken Chili Brick will yield the same success the original Chili Brick has. For more information on Dolores Chili Brick, please visit our website at www.DoloresChili.com
