I wish that I lived in Cincinnati. Just for the chili!!! 😊

I went Cinncinnati once and was fortunate enough to try Cinnci chili. One of the best things I've ever eaten.

My son was treated at Cincinnati children's hospital in the winter of 05 06 he had to stay in a hospital room for 4 months.there is a gold star chili there in the hospital.i ended trying it and at first I thought it tasted weird but I kept trying it and ended up loving it my son's favorite football team was the Cincinnati Bengals his bone marrow transplant was unsuccessful and ha passed away at 8.5 years I try to remember days and our times in Cincinnati I am so grateful for how great Cincinnati children's treated my son one of the ways I remember is Cincinnati is the chili.....thank you Cincinnati!!!!!!!!

Even though I live in Philadelphia, when I visit my hometown, Cincinnati, I would always go to Skyline Chili to get a 5-way.

I grew up in Cincinnati. I appreciate All the local Clili places. Skyline, Goldstar, Blue Ash, Camp Washington in Cincinnati, Empress and Dixie Chili in Northern Kentucky. It's all delicious. Give it a try 😉

Do you remember how Goldstar Coneys used to come in boxes? 10 coneys, 2 layers, Mmmm the aromatic scent! But I swear they changed their recipe.

I lived in Cincinnati from 2010-2013. I tried Gold Star chili shortly after moving there and didn’t think too much of the Cincinnati style chili. When I put my 2 week notice in at my job to move back out west where I’m from, I decided I had to try Skyline Chili before I left. I got a 5-way for lunch that day and was amazed how good it was! I was so upset with myself knowing this would be the only time I eat this delicious meal for who knows how long, when I had the previous 3 years to eat as much as I wanted.

My mom is from that area, when she visits she always brings a few cans back to Cali for me. Yum !

What a unique food culture. And I mean that in the nicest way. Would like to try this should I ever go to Cincinnati. Seems like a working man's food.

There are some really great small chili parlors in cincy

I eat skyline chili once a week also I loved camp Washington chili and go Star chili overall skyline is the best I order the three way which is spaghetti chili cheese oyster crackers Tabasco sauce and a dr. Pepper yum

There were even more of these "Chili Parlors" in past years, single stores, all independently owned. Most have gone away, but some are still around, like Price Hill Chili and Camp Washington Chili. Most are just fading memories of bygone days.

Thank you Skyline keep up the good work I'm here in the lab. Just made a nice big pot of Cincinnati chili I like to use half moose meat or half reindeer now I'm getting hungry I went to heat up another portion that I just I have finished

Northern slop, the south has better cooking by leaps and bounds. I have been to all 50 states, and there is not an argument.

I grew up closer to gold star, so that was my favorite, but anymore I love them all. I like to change it up especially when grabbing cans from the store

Empress chili is my favorite but as for chains go I like skyline.

Fortunately for us here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, there was a Greek immigrant who originally moved to Cincinnati in the early 1900s. He saw the Greek-style chili restaurant's popularity in Cincinnati, and he decided to take the concept to Tulsa. He founded Coney I-Lander, which has been around Tulsa since the 1920s and has expanded to 10 restaurants across the metro. Thank god, because Cincinnati chili is one of my favorite foods!

I was born and raised in Cincinnati and grew up on Skyline Chili. WHENEVER I came home, I went to Skyline. I've had Gold Star and must confess, it's just not as good, too watery. ! year I introduced my co-workers to Skyline. The like it so much that I took orders for them. I came back to visit relatives & bought $100.00 of Skyline Chili. The lady at the check out register asked me if I liked Skyline. Told her "Nope" & then explained. She thought it was great! I buy Skyline on Amazon frequently.

My favorite is Gold Star. 😋👏❤️

Nice food 🥘,

One thing about these chili places: You can request a three way from a waitress and not get thrown out.

Used to love Empress Chilli it had a slightly sweeter nutmeg- ier flavor but I love em both used to avoid skyline after I got a 3 way years ago and it was mostly just spaghetti and cheese they didn’t ladle on enough chilli for it to qualify as true Cincinnati Chili, I still order a side of extra chilli to add in after I’ve started a 4 way

One of the first place to make Cincinnati chili in Cincinnati as well. Skyline was founded by a former Empress employee doing their best Empress employee.

They’re the real original, glad at least you’re aware of the best

My son was being treated at Cincinnati children's best hospital I've ever seen there was was a gold Star chili in the cafeteria got hooked im not a city person but if i had to live in a city it would be Cincinnati

I ate both places and they are both good

SKYLINE! The Best.

This is the way chili sauce should be done. My improvements would be to replace the onions with fried onions (to give it a bit of a crunch) and then quick-steam it to melt the cheese.
