    As Casey points out below, "the bowl of Chili [at the time this episode was made] was the equivalent of $34.53 and the iced tea was $4.32 in 2022 dollars." But this was part of an in-joke because this restaurant where Columbo is enjoying his chili was Chasen's--which was a favorite of people in show business and was particularly renowned for its exceptional chili. The owner of the restaurant, Dave Chasen, kept his recipe a secret, entrusting it to no one. Chauffeurs and studio people, actors and actresses would come to the back door of Chasen’s to buy and pick up the chili by the quart. Other famous people craved this chili, such as comedian and actor Jack Benny who ordered it by the quart. J. Edgar Hoover, former FBI Director, considered it the best chili in the world. And Eleanor Roosevelt wife of the 32nd President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, sought the recipe but was refused. (A complimentary order was dispatched to her instead). Chasen’s also sent chili to movie actor Clark Gable when he was in the hospital, and Elizabeth Taylor ordered 10 quarts of Chasen's chili be shipped to Rome during the filming of Cleopatra.

    Columbo's tactics are subtle yet genius. Most of him, I believe are a play on suspects. First, be annoying. The wife thing, the one-more-things... the culprit is already in an antagonist mindset before the investigation, the cops are his enemy so if he annoys one more than anybody, he knows who to focus on. Second, like leaving the script with the lady. Script is evidence. An eventual culprit or accomplice would try to keep it and then destroy it, an innocent will surrender it without question. It was a bait and she didn't bite. Rules her off. finally, his whole demeanor brings the suspects to underestimate him.

    With some research, and to add to the discussion of Chasen's and their famous (and famously-expensive) chili, it was always available-even after being taken off the menu. For the life of me, I wondered how the chefs at that restaurant could cobble together a bowl of chili for the lieutenant so quickly. The answer lies in the fact that it was always ready for service. The subtleties of this show fascinate the mind.

I wonder how Lurch would act and sound as he gets frustrated with Columbo popping in at inopportune moments with his "Oh, uh, one more thing ... " or "The boys at the lab were curious about how this happened [shows bent fireplace poker], do you have an explanation?" I'm sure it's the one Peter Falk/Columbo *would* have made.
