When he was home in Austin, he was a loyal customer of the Texas Chili Parlor. Scott decided to purchase the establishment in 2002 promising to continue the history of chili in the downtown community. The Texas Chili Parlor was the setting for Quentin Tarantino’s film Death Proof, earning Scott a film credit. Scott also appeared on the Texas Bucket List show for the best Chili in Texas. The Texas Chili Parlor was also on The Food Network for the outstanding menu and famous chili. Scott collected motor vehicles and loved riding his Harley and going to Sturges annually.
