    Being a Tennesseean, With parents from Indiana, I have an abiding love for both Texas style Chili, Classic Firehouse chili with beans, and Cincinnati's variety, despite having never been there, I buy canned Skyline chili. I'm eating some now. But Classic Chili, Texas Chili, and Cincinnati Chili are really very different animals. All equally awesome, and I can appreciate Chili diversity. I love Skyline. Never tried Goldstar.

    I was introduced to Cinncinati Chili several years ago by a former Ohioanian family friend. Adds a nice occasional dimension to the chili repertoire. I have only had homemade, gold star canned and chili made from the blue seasoning packets. Never had the real deal.

I even miss the "P&G" factory smell from the Ivorydale plant on Spring Grove, mixed in with the sweet smell from the schnapps (was it Dekuyper?) distillery between St, Bernard/ Carthage...when I'd been away, coming back in on I75 and those smells would hit you at the Norwood Lateral...take a big whiff.."I'm HOME!"

    I grew up in the Hudson Valley in NY, and where I grew up "Coney Dogs" tasted almost exactly like Cincinnati Chili (my great-grandmother had a handwritten a recipe for this kind of chili from before I was born). When I moved from NY to Florida, I'd order a Coney and get your basic texas-style chili dog. One day I found a vendor who made a "Greek Coney" that tasted exactly like what I remembered from growing up, and it turns out he was from Ohio and essentially used the skyline recipe in his Greek dog. I'm really curious how upstate NY and Cincinnati share this tradition - I don't think my family or anybody has been to Ohio, but maybe the Greek migration from NYC to Cincinnati caused it? Regardless, this was a cool video to watch.

      @@shirleyabel6027 i agree with you ma'am, the 1st chili parlor was empress in 1929 & you do not see many of them anymore.( empress taste is very close to skyline) Dixie chili branched off from empress between 2 friends relatives( not sure which) & it was a friendly departure as empress was in cinti & dixie chili went to newport , ky., to open their 1st parlor so as not to be competitors. Most of the other parlors whether chain or 1 owner started in thw early 1940's. Every cinti chili parlor whether chain or 1 owner were started by greek immigrants except gold star which was started by the Daoud brothers who are from the country of Jordan in the middle east. Some franchisee's of chain parlors are not greek, but the chains were started by greeks. Thought you might be interested, God bless.

      Man, Skyline time can be anytime as long as I have access to Skyline Chili. I've been hooked on it ever since the first time I tried it at a Skyline Chili in the Columbus, OH suburbs. I sometimes make my own Cincinnati Chili and it tastes very much like Skyline but more beefy. I could go for a 6-way and some coneys!

Cincinnati is a 9 hour drive from my house in NC and the best that I can do is find Skyline Chili in cans or frozen at a few stores. It's good at best but not the same nor as good as what I'd get at the actual restaurant. Every time I'm in the Cincinnati area, I gotta have some chili because it's that good.

    I eat skyline often and I know the ingredients. Try adding lots of allspice, a little cinnamon and chocotate sauce or bars to your regular pasta sauce. That is cincy chili. I don't think ginger is an ingredient that I would use, but it could work.

    I know there are thousands of loyal Cincinnati chili fans. I am not one of them. I took a job in Cincinnati in 1962, just out of the Navy, and didn't have much money. There were a lot of small mom and pop chili parlors in Cincinnati and it was cheap and I love chili. I also ate a lot of chow mein. But the chili I ate in Cincinnati was regular good old midwestern chili ( tex-mex I suppose). I had eaten this stuff all my life growing up. So it didn't impress me as anything special, just good ole chili. My mother made her chili with beans and over spaghetti, so chili over spaghetti was nothing different to me. I live in Indianapolis and heard of Skyline chili here. My wife and I went to Skyline chili to try it out and neither of us thought it was any good. She is from Arizona. I have tried Skyline chili three more times in different locations since then and the results are all the same. Sorry, just don't like it. Doesn't mean it isn;t good, just means it isn't for everybody. BTW. I saw the Reds play their last season in old Crosley field. Held 28,000 I believe. Also got to see Oscar play for the pro-Cincinnati basketball team. Cincinnati Royals I think. Haven't been to Cincinnati in years but really liked living there back in the day.

    I have to admit, when making chili, I actually prefer the Cinci method to others. It has a smoother overall texture and is not as oily, and also provides a good base from which you can add other ingredients to taste (i.e., beans, onions, smoked sausage, etc.).

    . Don't know.I lived in Cincinnati in the 60's. Went to watch the Reds play baseball in old Crosley Field. Seated 28,000 as I remember. I was just out of the Navy and didn't have much money so I was looking for cheap rent and cheap food. I ate a lot of chili in Cincinnati chili parlors. In those days there was no Skyline chili or any chili chains. The chili parlors I ate in were small mom and pop places and they were serving what I call Midwest chili, similar to what my mother used to cook. To me, that was Cincinnati chili. My mother used to pour her chili over spaghetti so this is not special or unusual to me. Skyline and the others were not there yet. Cincinnati chili existed before these new outfits existed. I tried Skyline chili 3 or 4 different times and I guess I don't have the right tasters for this style. I thought it was awful, and I have friends who agree, but I know a lot of people love this stuff. I still love chili and make it a lot. I read somewhere ( Wikipedia, I think), that if you grew up eating midwestern chili you probably would not like this other chili. Don't know.
