Ah yes, Cincinnati.
Largest city in Kentucky.
iTs actually not chili at all, it’s spaghetti with sludge sauce.
Born & grew up in Cinci until we moved when I was 10. I’m a 5 way girl all the way. My husband thinks it’s disgusting.
My mouth is watering.....
I worked in Ohio for a while. I never did
aquire a taste for their chili. There
was a joint called Skyline Chili that
ladeled the stuff over spaghetti just
as your pic shows....yuk.
Looks interesting but it ain’t chili.
If you like mole (pronounced mo-lay) sauce, you’ll like Cincy chili.
A felony on chili. Yuck.
I can deal with all of it except the hint of sweet like cinnamon or maybe it’s the clove....whatever it is loses it for me.
Chili dog sludge over noodles with cheese. Might eat it if I was high….
Throw enough cheese and hot sauce on it and it’s edible, but not really competitive with any really good chili recipes.
I guess anything can be called anything - free speech and all.
Unless the Left finds it offensive or threatening, in which case it is cultural appropriation, a hate crime, or even domestic terrorism.
Looks and sounds awful and flavorless.
Cincinnati, early `90s.
Skyline Chili, three way.
The indigestion was horrific, it came in waves.
But north of Cincinnati there are some great German food restaurants.

My Mom was 100% Czech. For all of my youth (Iowa) I thought I was eating real Texas chili. Until I visited Texas and realized Mom had no idea what she was making. It was a recipe out of a 1950s Betty Crocker book, and it was pretty much spot on Cincinnati style chili. Which because I was raised on it, I like. But, yea. It’s not really chili, it’s just it’s own thing. And I’m 5-way all the way.
Real chili, my base recipe.

That’s just nasty.
I like three-way. My first time having Cincinnati Chili was a bit of a hurdle, but it is good. Just forget it is called chili and you'll enjoy.
