I think even the beans/no beans people can put their disagreements aside and say with one voice: “Skyline chili is a crime against nature!”

Quote HistoryQuoted: I went to school in Cincy for one year and we'd go to the original Skyline on Glenway Ave after midnight. LaRosa's would also get college students $5 large pizzas. I still like it albeit not nearly as much as I used to. @M4ger We went to a LaRosa’s while visiting my wife’s family and actually met Buddy LaRosa. Super nice old guy. He asked me to write down our address, then when we got back home we got a shipment of pizzas on dry ice. |

I draw the line at 4way with onions.
I can not for the life of me understand the fucking 4way with beans or 5way guys. First, there are no beans in chili. Second, there are no beans in spaghetti. Wtf! |

It ain't "chili", but who cares? It's delicious all on its own. Whatever it is. |

I’ve been in Cincinnati 3x in my life and I think I’ve had Skyline 4 times. I love it. I love their hot sauce and the little oyster crackers and giant mounds of cheese. We even buy the seasoning mix and make it at home sometimes.
But it’s not proper chili. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yesssss! Graeter's Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip! And Skyline is a good snack. Although Cincinatti chili's mere existence creates enormous quantities of butthurt for those who are strict absolutists that demand 100% loyalty to chili in the Tex-Mex tradition. Even better is the Blue Ash Chili Parlor. https://blueashchili.com/ There is also Queen City chili, and Murray's in Norwood. Those are probably long gone

I was glad to see Skyline and them bring their businesses to Ky and although I don't eat there very often, they're good to have around for when I do. |

What trips people up is they expect chili. It's not really chili in what you'd expect if you order chili and you weren't from this area. Blame the Greek immigrants who brought it here 100 years ago and called it that, probably to make it easier to market.

It's like new yorkers with a different accent. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ohio/Kentucky might have the worst food on the planet. People consistently starve to death in Africa and they have come up with better food. Outside of putting spaghetti in the chili flavored beans, and the cornbread, Kentucky food is actually quite good. It’s mostly southern style country food. Texas has brisket and chili and not much else, and even Kentuckians smoke their brisket. If not for the Tejanos, Texas wouldn’t have any foods to brag about. |

I enjoy the butthurt as texans chime in to ridicule people using the noun chili outside of the state. It's like new yorkers with a different accent. Last time I checked Chili is thought to have originated in and around San Antonio by Tejano women to sell to soldiers of various armies. That more or less makes Chili a Texas original and they do have a legitimate reason to complain about some of the abomination to get the title stuck to them. There is only one true chili dish, and its beef cooked in chilis and some spices. The rest need to be renamed to something else. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Then what makes it Cincinnati chili? Mediterranean immigrants who didn’t think they could sell it as “weird Greek spaghetti sauce.” I’ve had it, and don’t mind it, but it has essentially nothing in common with what anyone outside the state of Ohio would think of as being “chili” (either Texas style or grocery store ground beef and chili seasoning style). |

I grew up on the stuff and eat it at least once a week. Both local towns have a Gold Star and a Skyline within sight of each other.
IMO Gold Star>Skyline, but either is nice. Blue Ash is good too, but limited locations. Guy Fieri did an episode of DDD at the original Blue Ash location. Mount Washington is good as well, but I think they only have a single location? 2 cheese coneys with mustard and onion, and a 3 way is my usual order. Might make it a 4 way with onions on the side, never beans. Lots of hot sauce and napkins. I'll never go to a Reds game and not get a (overpriced) cheese coney. For me it is nostalgia. |

A tiny bit of cinnamon in most things make it great.
I've never had their food, but I'd gladly eat that. My only complaint is I like my cheese sort of melted. |

Honestly though, you want a four-way (onion). Don't get the five-way. Or the four-way (bean). It's not because beans don't belong in chili so much, as it is the dish (proper Cinci fast food "chili") gets screwed up when you try to cut it with a fork, and somebody throws beans in the mix. It's no good.
And you DO cut the noodles, with the edge of your fork. Like a proper gentleman. |

The only time I tried it was at a Cinci Reds game. There is or was a Skyline Concession stand in the stadium. Got two coneys. I have never had a more awful hotdog. It could have been that the HD was just disgusting mush, and not made with much actual meat, or the whole chili/shredded cheese stuff. Whatever it was beyond bad.
I was not able to finish them and most went in the trash. Now maybe that's not a good sampling, being it was at the baseball park and not one of the regular locations. |
