Make It a Three-Way: How to Do Cincinnati Chili Right When it comes to Cincinnati-style, forget what you think you know about chili. (cuz it aint)

the take out ^

Yes, Skyline is the #1 chili chain in the region.

The three-way is excellent. (That’s what’s in the picture.) I actually somewhat prefer Cincinnati style (maybe it’s because my parents came from there), but I like Texas chili as well.

Cincinnati needs a gut check on two faux pas.

Jerry Springer.

Their abomination described as "Chili".

Keeping for future reference.

I saw no mention of any form of actual chiles being used in this stuff. Chili has to have chiles in it, pretty much by definition.

Cincinnati chili is wonderful.

Agreed. And as much as I want to dislike Cincy, I gotta stick up for their chili. They make fine chili, their 3-ways are great, and their city.....ugh.....is very....ugh...pretty.

That really hurt.

Bunch-a chili-snobs around here.

AT LEAST THEY AIN'T PITTSBURGH!

A local restaurant here in Memphis takes the three way and adds Tomales, calling it the Four Way.

A complete ruin of spaghetti, Chili, cheese, Tomales, and some weird spices meant for apple pies. It's like a dope smokers buffet.

My Mom made the same dish. Although she was raised in E. Central Indiana, she never called it Cincinnati Chili, just Chili. She had the Betty Crocker cookbook, so maybe that's where she got it.

Thing is, my parents moved to Kansas, which is where I was raised. So, I knew the stuff wasn't Chili, but I really didn't know what it was.

it as chili in it

My mother (from Iowa) made the worst chili I have ever eaten. Canned kidney beans, big slimy hunks of canned stewed tomatoes, and practically no spices, just a little McCormick premixed chili powder. It was awful.

and vica versa. I’m stuck in the middle!

Who Dey — has its roots in one of the local Cincinnati breweries, Hudepohl, known affectionately as Hudy. (”I’ll have a Hudy.”)

[mylife]

indeed!

Yeah I spent a couple of weeks up there for work. Training at the GE plant. That place is freakin’ Hugh BTW.

That was my 1st experience with Skyline, my neighbors that were originally from Cincinnati said I had to try it while I was there so I did.

Like I said in an earlier post the only thing that I couldn’t overcome was the hint of sweet....other than that I totally get it.

The spaghetti pasta freaks a lot of people out but I liked it.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

No mention of chiles in the article.

That’s not true at all. Hamilton is the largest city in Kentucky. And Kentucky took over Hamilton without firing a shot. A fact we are very proud of.

Love both Skyline and Gold Star 3 ways and cheese coneys.

Who Dey! Let’s go Bengals!
