Being from Texas I grew up knowing Texas chili. However, after college I landed a job in Chicago and ended up living 10 years there. My first night in my new apartment, the pantry was empty and so I started walking around my new neighborhood looking for a place to eat. I didn´t know anyone so I had no one to ask. One block from my place there was a small diner specializing in Cincinnati Chili. I had never heard of it before......and I have been hooked ever since. I ate there at least once a week. I´m back in Texas now and have to make my 4-way CC with onions in secret. LOL!

Thanks for sharing your story, @gertexan. We enjoy Texas style chili without the beans but also love some Cincinnati chili as well. It's good to know that a true Texan also enjoys Cincy chili. Thanks for watching and we hope that you had a great weekend.
The history of Cincinnati chili was so interesting as people who are not that familiar with it. Looks like some good chili. Thanks for bringing us another chili restaurant. Great video as always!

I have almost all of those cds! I have them in a soft binder thing that I had in my vehicle back then in 90s. That’s a cool restaurant. They don’t skimp in the cheese, so they?!!! Looked really good ! I especially enjoyed the beginning of the video with the history, etc

We still have one of those binders as well and up until this past January, listened to CDs. We had to trade in our old truck for a few reasons and the truck that we have now doesn't have a CD player. Those were some great CDs in that jukebox. You're not kidding - they don't short anyone on that cheddar. Thanks so much for watching, Sandra. We hope that you had a great weekend.
Very interesting restaurant and old school. I think there is Author Treachers fish& chips there as well or maybe it's Akron. Have a great weekend and 🐝 safe 😊.

What a spectacular video love the variety of ways to order the chili I love the concept of having garlic added onto the plate of chili. I loved watching this video this was my first video I’d watched on your channel but it definitely won’t be the last I love watching food review videos and restaurants reviews

This is different. I do chili, no beans, on hotdogs with mustard, slaw and onion. Chili with beans goes over cornbread. Have ya'll ever stayed at Oak Haven Resort in Sevierville? At least one of their cabins, that I know of, has a juke box like this. It's our favorite cabin. We always request it. Hope ya'll have a great weekend and God bless!

We had a Cinci style chili parlor here in Chicago back in the 80's. It was on Van Buren Street east of the Board of Trade. The chili was so dang good. I loved it loaded up with everything. For whatever reason, they closed not long after opening..maybe 2 years??? The food was top notch and they did a good biz. Maybe a landlord issue? Anyway good video here.....Thanks

That's so neat! We were just reading about the rise and fall of the Minnie Pearl's fried chicken restaurant about a month ago, but had no idea that this space was formerly one of them - that's really neat. Those garlic cloves on the 6 way chili really does give the flavor that extra boost of deliciousness. We hope that you had a great weekend, Jenny.

I have a great review location for you. It's in Columbus Ohio and it's called The Dairy Twist. They have really really good Coney dogs and their ice cream is amazing. I'm pretty sure they have been there since the 50s and they are always packed. IPad Tony's from all over including the OG George's Coney Island on Broad Street and Wilson Road in Columbus Ohio back in the day and these are better.

No offense to anyone. My taste buds do not enjoy Skyline chili. Perhaps if it had fresh garlic and the rumored chocolate, I might change my mind. That wouldn't hamper me from trying the other restaurants, however. Love the cheese.

Have you ever tried, Gold Star? We enjoy Skyline but the flavoring is much different than Gold Star. You can really taste the richness of the spices in Gold Star's Chili and we personally believe that most people bring up Skyline when referencing Cincinnati chili since they've pushed their franchise hard and have more locations. We agree - they do not skimp on their cheddar cheese. We hope that you had a wonderful weekend, Jan. Thanks so much for watching.
I've seen Casey Webb from man vs food do an episode in Cincinnati Ohio at a Chile place it might of been blue ash and he got a 6 way Chile from there I think jalapeño poppers was one of the 6 ways with blue ash Chile
I tried skyline chili one time at king’s island and it was truly awful.

Man, I went to skyline once when I was young and idk what I ordered but probably the 3 way. That shit had a entire plate full of chili water or, water from the spaghetti, or a mixture of both waters, and it was terrible. I sent it back and asked what was with all the water. That's when I first realized how stupid people are, they were dumbfounded as to how to satisfy this kids simple request to not have his meal swimming in a pool of water.
