For sale: Joplin landmark Fred & Red’s chili parlor; price includes secret chili recipe.
It’s an ad that gets attention from almost anyone who’s ordered a bowl of chili while sitting on one of the 23 stools at the lunch counter at 1719 S. Main St.
Now, Larry Wilcoxson hopes he can offer someone else the chance to be part of Joplin’s history. He is selling the diner as a package deal. That means the building, lots, fixtures and, of course, the chili recipe are all up for sale.
Wilcoxson insists there’s nothing that special about his chili, but he finds all the guessing amusing.
“Secret? There is no secret,” Wilcoxson said. “It’s pretty much the same ingredients as everybody else’s chili. Everybody has their own chili recipe. It’s just the timing of when to put the spices in.”"

Dad still eats here at least once a week.
