Yeah, that's a great scene.

I like the way the waiter looks perplexed when he orders chili in the fancy restaurant. Yet, he comes back in about a minute with the bowl. Maybe the chef cracked open a can of hormel,lol.

Also, is that the only time Columbo asked for ketchup with his chili?

Just saw that episode last night on MeTV...and they cut the chili part from the restaurant scene!

Columbo even refers to it in the next scene, but anyone who didn't know the scene would be left scratching their heads.

Pretty disappointing I must say.
