For me it’s a four way with onions and hot sauce

I accidentally used garam masala instead of cumin in my last pot of chili. I imagine that's similar in flavor to skyline. It was okay but the cinnamon felt out of place. I won't do it deliberately in the future, but if I accidentally do it again I will eat it.

What's the history on this chili, is it Greek? And BTW, I love it. Had a 5 way and some coneys last time I was in cincy. Hot sauce is mandatory to bring it all together too.

Actual tri-stater here, born and raised. I add crackers to the slop. They are not an appetizer, they're an addition to the main course and always should be.

I moved away about 8 years ago, but I grew up in NKY. Gold Star is trash too, btw. Skyline is the only way to go.

Honestly, I don't like any of the chains. If you do, that's great, but they've always seemed lacking to me. Gold Star coneys give me a tummy ache.

There's a good non-chain place in Blue Ash, was really good but pretty pricey from what I remember. Skyline was pretty close and dirt cheap. Tho this was several years back.

Blue Ash Chili? I did eat there once and it was actually good, but the staff all seemed to be in bad moods. It happens. I think that's where I had a chili burrito.

I was working a contract in Saudi Arabia, and the DFAC had Cincinnati Chili every Tuesday, prepared by Indians. In the four years I was on contract, I never once ate it, because no single person could tell me what the hell Cincinnati Chili was, and I am not one to just go around eating shit from Ohio.

Jokes on you buddy, it's delicious.

[Anonymous No.17930333]

>>17929876
I grew up there too and we ate the crackers with a dab of Franks Red Hot as an appetizer.
I've only seen people add crackers when it's in spaghetti form, but my friends always get the coneys.

When I make it at home I like to mix refried beans into the meat sauce because it's too runny and makes buns soggy too quickly and the beans make the sauce much more dense.
I really like beans though, so it's probably not for everyone. I just use a little less beans than meat sauce. Add a pinch of all spice, chili powder, and cumin if you want, but the flavor of the meat sauce is usually strong enough that you don't need it.
And don't forget the Franks of course.

When done properly its mind-blowing.

Unfortunately most people will experience it via Skyline which took a massive dive in quality over the last couple of decades. My mom made it more or less from scratch and it was a big deal any time we had it growing up

It's like handing somebody a bag of taco bell and asking what they think of Mexican cuisine.

There's an idea that I'd never considered. Refried sounds weird though.

Jungle Jim's. It's the greatest grocery/whatever store you will ever visit. They have anything you can imagine and it's like a theme park. It's usually not packed either, especially in the mornings. Look up pictures.

Nice breweries there if you’re into that sort of thing. Taft’s and Rhinegeist are pretty cool, Taft’s has good food as well. There’s a huge liqour store right across the river called Party Source if you like booze. Also Eden Park is really nice this time of year.

In terms of restaraunts there’s decent variety depending on what you’re into

Dixie mogs both of the other chains, imo. Go to the original Newport location, order a 5-way and two coneys, and eat it all to the Titanic soundtrack on the jukebox.

The Cincinnati Zoo is one of the best in the country (RIP Harambe), and if you're on /ck, you should go to Findlay Market for local vendors like Maverick Chocolate. And just walking along the river can be really nice, pretty much from the Reds stadium to the Bengals stadium; the city put in a bunch of nice parks about a decade ago.

there was this comic from Cincy who worked around Chicago and he made me laugh very much by saying, to paraphrase
"Oh you say you're from Chicago and everyone asks you, oh, I bet you eat deep dish all the time?? And you tell them like, nah, not really, that's kinda just something that tourists order when they're in from out of town. But you say you're from Cincinatti, everyone asks Oh you really eat all that chili, on the hot dogs, and on the spaghetti? And like... Honestly, yeah. That's just 'Lunch'."

I've lived in the Cincinnati area my whole life and I think I like Dixie Chili the best of the chains. With that said, a packet of this along with tomato paste and some ground beef is also really good to make at home.

>texas chili > cincy chili

Neither of which is a chili, they're just meat sauces. Actual chili is a BEAN stew with tomatoes and chili peppers with the meat in fact being optional but the BEANS are mandatory.

youre all wrong. chili started as a mexi dish that was only meat, tomatoes, and chile paste its written about by the conquistadors. it was popularized in San Antonio by mexican immigrants in the early 1900s and then made it way across the states. So chili is an ancient mexican dish, it was popularized by texans, and made its way across the states. but the biggest takeaway you should get from this is that at NO POINT in chilis centuries long history were BEANS put in the fucking chili. THAT WAS INTRODUCED BY FUCKING FLYOVERS

Montgomery Inn is an ABSOLUTE MUST. Get the ribs and onion straws. If you get anything out of this thread, anything at all, go to Montgomery Inn (preferably the one in montgomery and not the boathouse). Then go to Jungle Jims just to browse and get some crazy foreign snacks because that's always a blast, expect to spend a couple of hours there. Other than that just use google. For entertainment try the zoo, it's pretty nice.

If you want cinci chili sloppa then go to Dixie Chili.
