What the fucking fuck... fuck? One of my troops brought some in, he tried to pass it off as spaghetti. Fucking disgusting, fuck. I'd rather eat live squids than try that shit again. Who the fuck puts chocolate in their spaghetti sauce? And who in the hell decided that this stuff could share a name with the food of the gods that comes from Texas?

States where cactus doesn't grow wild shouldn't make chili. I can excuse beans (even though they should go on the side) and I can almost understand the urge to put tomatoes in it, but chocolate, cinnamon, and nutmeg, wtf is this dessert?

Not in Skyline or Goldstar. Neither is cinnamon. Very bad rumors.

Neither of those are "chilis" anyways.

Nope. Cumin, Chili powder, and CARDAMOM, which is fragrant like cinnamon but costs 10 times as much. No chocolate or cinnamon in cincinnati chili, despite the insistance of hill jacks putting it in their homemade shit.

I worked at a Skyline for 5 years. It was my first job, started right after I turned 15. I love the stuff to this day. Can't find it anywhere close down here in FL.

I'm not a big fan of Cincinnati style chili, but I do like it on a coney.

You'll notice that beans are optional.

Skyline Chili is unique in that it is not chili con carne, the meat dish that originated in (and is the state dish of) Texas. Instead, Cincinnati-style chili is a sauce usually used over spaghetti or hot dogs, containing a unique spice blend that gives it a very distinct taste. Officially, the recipe for Skyline Chili is a well-kept family secret among Lambrinides' surviving children. However, many Skyline patrons and Cincinnatians believe that the unique taste of Skyline Chili comes from chocolate and cinnamon, spices common in Greek cuisine's meat dishes. The general recipe is not unique to Skyline — "Cincinnati-style" chili is sold by several chili parlors in the area including Empress, Dixie, Gold Star Chili, Camp Washington, Dawson's School House of Chili, and other chili parlors.

Skyline is nasty. It's one of those foods where you take a bite and immediately start looking for somewhere to spit it out.

Chili on spaghetti just makes me wonder.

I can understand a pinch of chocolate for sweetness...but a pinch.
I usually use some sugar in my dry rubs for ribs and I often toss in some when making chili...not a lot, just a little sweetness to balance out the spice.

I don't have a huge issue with ground beef, but sure as hell not boiled....there is no reason in God's kingdom why beef should ever be boiled...unless you are boiling it in oil.

As for beans....great in soup, on salads, or as a side dish.....but not in chili.

Chili is beef and hot peppers (you know, 'chili peppers')

It is not a condiment, it is not a sauce for pasta.

It's decent fast eats. Coneys or five-ways drowned in hot sauce are good eats.
I, as a non-native of the Skyline served area, do wish they would call it something other than chili... Perhaps Greek Slightly Spiced Pasta / Dog Sauce.

As I understand it, the Cincinnati Style is a Greek immigrant thing. Chili it is not, good it is.
