I just ate a piece of cornbread in a plate/bowl type dish, surrounded by
chili. I think I haven't had that goodness since I worked for the American Cafe in Tyson's Corner around 1986. Why this isn't standard issue bar food is a mystery to me. Awesome comfort food, easy and cheap to make...who wouldn't want that with a beer instead of, say, a quesadilla? And I have noticed nachos are back, but whatever happened to potato skins? I don't know this country anymore.

Um I'd rather have a Quiesadilla. Chilli varies all over the place. Most
is food crap....

Pro-tip...a good hot dog chilli is far superior on nachos, over "taco" meat

Next time, put the cornbread in buttermilk which is common West of BBurg
Cornbread in buttermilk was a depression era and coalminer/railroad worker staple. It's still done in far swva. Not as commonly, but still common enough.

My mom loved that, it was like dessert to her. She was raised during the
depression. And her father worked for the railroad.
