    Cincinnati chili has one of the biggest disconnects between looks and taste in food. It looks like absolute trash. It’s a meal you would assume a hobo made from random dumpster dives. Sometimes they show a big plate of it during a national sports broadcast that’s in Cincinnati, and I’ve seen people leave the room because it literally makes them nauseous. But damn if it isn’t shockingly tasty, filling, and satisfying. Something about the cinnamon and beans, plus spaghetti underneath just clicks, and it’s rare to find someone who generally doesn’t like it when they give it a chance. It’s a weird food.

      When you hear jokes about Italians getting angry at non-traditional pizzas, in reality it’s about certain Americans and chili.

      They’ll literally beat eachother up if there’s beans, no beans, this spice, not that spice, etc. While Italians don’t give a fuck about peoples pizza, as long as they don’t try to call it authentic Italian when it’s not.

      I can only stand Cincinnati chili with a bunch of cheese and hot sauce. The coneys are the best way to eat that chili close second is a chili dip.

        Camp Washington Chili is probably the best place I’ve been to. Puts Skyline and Gold Star in their place.

          Camp has the best chili. I do miss the umlaut in the Höpple street sign. It was there when I started eating at Camp Washington in 1980.

    Three anti-Ohio memes on the front page right now.

    I feel like I missed something.

    I’m also not sure I want to know.

        Yeah honestly it’s one of the few meats I still crave as a pescatarian, which is weird because it’s always been pretty good but nothing super special aside from tasting like home

    This is good a few times a year. You can get habanero cheese and they have a good house hot sauce. You can also do mini coneys instead of noodles.

    It needs that much cheese just to be palatable, for me anyway. That chili is nasty.

    Don’t get me wrong, I like all these things. But this looks fucking disgusting. Get better cooking skills. Don’t treat yourself like this.

    So, you’re looking at this and it looks like normal chili. And you’re thinking chili with cheese and spaghetti, yeah I could go for that. Then you eat it, and some asshole put cinnamon in the chili instead of chili powder and cumin and you realize you have been duped into eating Christmas vomit with cheese and noodles.
