@Seth Barry I have 2 go to orders. 4 conveys with mustard and onion and a small Greek salad. And if I'm not sober, 2 coneys with everything on them and two chillitos add hot dogs. Maybe a 5fth item if I'm brave. And of course everything top mlwith multiple packets of hot sauce. And if you ever make coneys at home I highly recommend adding pickled jalapeños.

@@ChargeQM many things, it has 100% dark cocoa in it which I believe a lot Chili's don't. It is made thinner because it's not eaten alone like a traditional chili but instead put on things, like the not uncommon chili cheese dog, called a coney, on top of pasta is the typical, and a tortilla which is a chilito, or on top of french fries. As someone born in Cincinnati but no longer living there it's definitely something I get every time I go visit.

I think the country as a whole took a breath when he woke up. I feel bad for the Bangles player (I'm forgetting who) who hit Damer. Cause it was a clean hit in my eye but it seems like that hit was or may have been the catalyst that set this whole thing off.

@@TheDarkLink7 Its a play that nobody would pay attention to normally a tackle where the receiver tries to fight through (it was Tee Higgins btw). I think its fair to say that everybody wishes this play ended routinely, but from what I have heard the contact with his chest likely was exactly timed with Hamlin's heartbeat causing the imbalance that almost killed him. I have nothing but well wishes obviously for Damar and I hope for him his family his teammates and everybody who had to witness that event that he recovers completely and can live a normal life at the very least and maybe get to play or be involved with football again in some capacity in the future if that is his wish.

As someone who used to live in Cincinnati and used to eat Skyline a lot, I saw this in my youtube feed and went "surely not that skyline"... and lo and behold. This was a delight to watch, lol.
Thank you for mentioning Damar. As a lifelong member of the Buffalo community, the Bills are a big part of my life and seeing what happened to Damar was terrifying. The outpouring of support from every single city was the reminder that I feel we needed that we are all human beings and we, at our core, do carry love for one another. Go Bills, and lots of love to all the Bengals bros out there ❤️

im not into football for several reasons, but i was so glad to see the caring responses for the injured player. the way that his team immediately shielded damar to give the man some dignity as he was carried off was really moving. im all the way on the west coast but i really hope he recovers well. football is a dangerous sport, so i really do wish the players well

Funny how much people care when the injury is instant and visceral. Meanwhile every single player is slowly killing themselves every play and everyone pretends it isn't happening. Kinda like how no one cares about car accidents or suicide until it happens in their social circle and suddenly everyone wants to "raise awareness".

@@NEPAAlchey Football is a dangerous sport. They know what they're signing up for. That's why they get paid millions as well. The reason Damar's situation is so different is because it was such a freak accident and it's never been seen in the sport before. Like Bills QB Josh Allen said, it was a typical football play. It just so happened to be the worst possible timing for the hit, which no one can ever estimate the "best" timing, either.

@A guy they call Dave yeah but skyline chili is an acquired taste and almost any pasta that is crunchy just seems wrong.

I always find it heartwarming how often Babish steps in to help with things like this. I know it's his channel, but he usually does it in a charming, comedic fashion as well and it's just wholesome that he's always there to help out his peeps even if it's not *his* show. Doubly so when they have about as much cooking talent as I have and try some pretty ambitious projects like this. Starting off the year strong already!

I'm originally from the Eastern Shore of Maryland, so crab cakes and Old Bay are right up my alley. I also love Cincinnati chili because Greek meat sauces are the bomb (think cinnamon, chocolate, allspice, cloves as main flavorings). I'm happy to see the Skyline represented here, but the very notion of having cinnamon and chocolate in an Old Bay-based crab cake made my tongue recoil. Some tastes just are not meant to go together!

Goetta is a code word that instantly reveals you’re from Cincy or NKy. I’ve never seen it anywhere else.
As a lifelong Marylander, my immediate reaction to hearing the concept was...concern. I know everyone associates us mostly with our beloved crab, but for this particular combo, you probably should have gone with pit beef for your Maryland fusion 😂
I enjoy that not only did Babish come out swinging by saying Skyline chili is bad, but they both basically ignored the half of Cincinnati that are Gold Star fans.
As a Baltimore native.......I don't thing I'll ever stop squinting about this.
As a Marylander who went to college in Ohio, it took a while to acquire the taste for skyline chili
Whoever edited and chose the music for this, I love the inclusion of the Italian national anthem while they're finishing the pasta cakes.

Duuuude. I know this is an old video I'm just discovering, but GD, this idea of the pastacakes in a cupcakes pan then filled with cincinnati chili, then cheese (most get this a little wrong: finely grated mild cheddar) is an insane idea that I am trying tomorrow. I cannot than you enough. Man. Yes. Thank you.
First, my heart as so many others go out for the Bills and their downed player. The field may see them as rivals, but many a black and gold has Damar in their prayers. That said, bit disappointed I won't get to see my Saints match up with another city this year. But I look forward to next year's match ups, as well as the rest of this year. Superbowl's gonna be a wild meal. Who Dat to all, and to all bon appetite.
This is the most fun I've ever had watching a KZread video. Seriously, this was brilliant.
They obviously don't know how much Maryland (and Baltimore) love old bay seasoning, which contains cinnamon.
Sorry guys that is not cincinnati chilli. Cincinnati chilli is more like a meat sauce. Yall need to try some canned skyline chilli.

I love they way he said Worcestershire, he said the way I’ve always said it and it makes me happy because it is very hard to say, especially while reading the word itself.
It certainly made for an interesting episode, no matter which team you root for (or neither). It's always a treat when you do these collaborations.

As one whom hails from southern Ohio, I am both intrigued and appalled by this whole experiment. Skyline is one of the greatest things ever. Next time try some vinegar based hot sauce on it, Tabasco works as a perfectly adequate substitute for Skyline hot sauce.

If you shaped the spaghetti into cups, you could fill them with the chili & cheese.

Hot take: When you eat food that's so hot it burns your mouth, everything tastes palatable because your tongue latches onto any flavor that isn't "ow, this hurts."
