As a Texan, I'd still call it a form of chilli to enjoy

@marknewkirk4322 2 ай бұрын

I totally get why some people don't want to call it chili. But it's its own legit thing, unlike anything else I've ever eaten.

We went to Skyline when we went to Cincinnati last year. Fell in love with it. We really liked Cincinnati too, it had a good vibe to it.

Finally somebody on KZfaq doing a Cincinnati style chili recipe that has actually had Cincinnati or Skyline chili.

@Ozzcaddy Жыл бұрын

As an Aussie who was in the US for 6 years working in golf and travelling the US, I would always check-out to see if a Skyline Chili restaurant was in the town. I would start off with a cup of chili beans then follow with the 4-ways onion every night for the week I was there. I always needed to add chili sauce to spice it up. Normally after 3 nights of eating there, I would not have to order as the staff knew what I wanted. Sadly, we don't have any Skyline Chili restaurants Down Under that I'm aware of. I shall give your recipe a go.

I have not tried the recipe presented here… I have not even finished watching the video, in fact. However, I have made the one that Chef John from Food Wishes here on KZfaq made and I can tell you it is spot on to Skyline. Definitely worth trying if this one isn’t to your liking.

Chili wears a lot of hats in different regions. This is just another great chili. Quick question, why chicken stock and not beef stock? Thanks for the great videos! Keep up the good work!

When I worked in Columbus, we had a group that would go for lunch 1-2 x's month for Skyline. 2 Coney's w/onions. And as for your question - It's chili. I have had friends argue that true chili has beans, otherwise it's just a sauce. Shrug...

@scottboettcher1344 5 ай бұрын

Was stationed at WPAFB from '83-'87, ate this stuff once or twice a week. They must've added the "Four-Way-Onion/Four-Way-Bean" since then as every time I tried to order a Four-way, but substitute beans for the onions, they refused to do so, so I had to pay extra and order the "Five-Way, but without onions"... Bastids. Will give your version a try; the seven versions I've already collected/tried aren't quite there, nor is the canned Skyline from amazoid.

@bradcampbell624 Жыл бұрын

Texan here too, but also lived in Dayton Ohio for years, and ate a lot of Skyline's. Like they say there, the 1st time you try it, you hate it. The 2nd time, it's ok. The 3rd time, you're addicted. But, it really is more Greek Spaghetti sauce than Chili

When I moved to Cincy in 1985 as a teen, my friends would take me to Gold Star on Wed for 25-cent coneys! I would get 4, but a friend at 10 every week! My parents still live there, so when I come for Thanksgiving, I get chili on the way to their house from the airport, on the way back to the airport, and possibly once in between if there's time. I usually get a 4 Way onion and 2 chili-cheese sandwiches. A friend taught me to get the sandwiches because there's more chili and no cheap hotdog.

Why not use beef stock instead of the chicken?

@SA-5247 3 ай бұрын

You actually don’t brown the beef. It basically stews with the liquid and breaks up really fine.

Chili is named so because there's Chili peppers in it. This has chili powder, so it can theoretically be named chili.

@jeffnmelissaadkins3204 Жыл бұрын

No. Cheese is never melted on this. It’s not meant to eat like spaghetti where you twirl it up on a fork. You cut individual bites with really short strands of noodles and you want the cheese to be airy.

When empress was the 1st in Cincy(1922) the 2 brothers never called the product chili, it was called sauce or hot dog sauce, no pasta, then a friend came from Greece to work for 😂 them & went to Newport & started Dixie & a worker remodeling his house put the sauce on pasta & none of these items had had cheese at either place. The local residents in Cincy started calling it chili & to appease their customersthe parlors started calling it chili instead of sauce, For the true full story interview Mr. Spiros Sarakatsanis from Dixie chili

@sewforlife586 6 ай бұрын

First I would not use ground chuck, why to fatty. I would never go below ground round. Spicy? Why do we always have to be spicy? You got a ulcer death wish or something? Dont forget this recipe was developed by a few greek brothers and although its not a traditional greek dish, greek food is known not to be spicy food so why cant u let it be what it is. Traditionally it is mild cheddar cheese, not sharp and we dont need sharp. I have mixed med with mild and that can be nice, but I think sharp is OTT. Why dont u try making a variation of chili con carne the Mexican chili and Texas variations. Then u can make it as spicy as u want with those Mexican spices. Skyline chili recipe hasnt been changed or altered in anyway since the 1920s. If it aint broke dont fix it! Is it a chili or a sauce? Well a sauce is a thick liquid that is for dipping to add moisture and flavor to dishes and "chili con carne" means "chili with meat", which is the original chili dish from mexican influence in texas and contains tomato as well. So I would say Skyline is a chili.

@mikeymutual5489 8 ай бұрын

Using cocoa powder (or chocolate) in this is a myth. And cayenne pepper does not belong in Cincinnati chili either (save that for your Texas chili). Otherwise, this recipe seems sound.

Mexicans are the reason chili exists. They use cocoa in types of chili and mole sauces. Are they wrong too?
