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 😉

Damnit....now I want some!!!! I miss living in Cincinnati!! 😢😢😢

Love Cincinnati chili... but I've never been to Cincinnati! My mom lived there and raised us in Minnesota eating Cincinnati chili she made from scratch. I wanna visit Cincinnati and try all these places!

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

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.

I loved all the videos on Cincinnati....they are definitely inviting and show off the BEST things to do in Cincinnati!

Only learned of Cincinnati Chili a few hours ago, already ready to plan my trip there haha

Skyline!!!

My Cincy born family that moved out of state always want Gold Star coneys as soon as they get into town. I don't like it myself but Skyline had a great beans and rice and I would get a Greek salad with it. So good!

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

2:19 Honestly, that decribes SOME Cincinnatians in a nutshell. Writing to a company who invented the food how to eat the food by twistin' they hand to the right and takin' a bite. Lmao like who does that.

Cincyborn thank you for the upload! :) & I say both too. But money wise as far as being cheaper, Gold Star Wins! lol!

One time, I flew standby from Albany NY INTL to Cincy, took a cab to a skyline, ate, took a cab back to the airport, and flew back to Albany.

This is really my favourite Channel! Thanks for your nice Videos, it is very enlightening, Waiting for your latest update. Empress Parkette

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 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

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

There are some really great small chili parlors in cincy

You can’t just get Philly cheesesteaks in any city that’s a crazy claim.

I like the fellow reading his newspaper at the counter & eating a way, that is how you do it, looked like maybe camp washington chili, plus the older gentleman meeting there to eat & chew the fat, lol

Camp Washington!

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.

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.

I went to Sycamore in the late 80s. I remember Gold Star had a 25-cent Coney Dog day once a week. We pigged out.

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

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.

RIP Roselawn chili time

Dixie Chili - Chili-Spaghetti, 3 coneys with onions, and a Coke! Can't wait to get back to Cincinnati :)

Hey man. Cincinnati born and bred and I spin the fork.

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

Clifton is the best 20 years ago and still today!

I live across the river from cint.,ohio in northern ky. And there are different preferences to chili parlors within my own family, some like skyline some gold star some dixie chili, it is actually funny, my favorite of the chain parlors is skyline and for one parlor places it is camp washington but i like pleasant ridge chili blue ash chili chili time , heck they are all good. I've never had any parlors chili that i would not eat again

A little disappointed Empress didn’t get mentioned here. First place I ever had Cincinnati chili.

Pleasant Ridge Chili or bust!!!

I miss Gold Star Chili

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

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

How is the young blonde lady at gold star with the black turtle neck and cream white sweater not married ? She has no wedding band on. If i were not married, i would be trying to woo her everyday, seems to have a great personality and she is beautiful.

Some exported people get depression and don't realize, all they need is a bowl !!! 🤩🙃😋

My favorite is Gold Star. 😋👏❤️

Skyline chili is the best chili hands down

Nice food 🥘,

Pleasent Ridge chili is the best in Cincinnati hands down 🙌🏾

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

If you like cincinnati style greek chili, there are no bad chilis. There are many chili parlor chain locations, and there are many 1 owner parlor locations, .and they are all good, it is just a matter of which one your preference is. It is that simple. I think it is great that they can all make an honest living serving chili.

Anyone know if the young brunette from skyline's marketing dept. with the last name Lapham is kin to the retired bengals player, Dave Lapham ? Was just curious.

3:48 Clifton and Ludlow .a stones throw from U.C.

Would love to try just once 😂

CINCINNATI chili beats the heck out of Texas chili. in my opinion. if you want to Texas it out a little go 4 way. lol

Oh yeah, Pleasant Ridge Chili also.😀

I wonder if the chili palace is still around, last time I ate the palace was like 1991

Empress chili. Skyline..... the absolute best !

Love Skyline and Gold Star if I'm in Kentucky, but if I'm in Cincinnati, I'm at Camp Washington every day. There has never been any comparision. Camp is the best and always will be.

Grew up in Cincy love sky line And moon light chilli parlors back then still make Cincinnati chili quit ofen 5 Way of course 🙂

I ate both places and they are both good

My favorite American dish!

Camp Washington is the way to go!!!

The only places I know of that have Cinti style chili, first 2 are obvious as there are/were 2 skylines in Florida, 1 on Clearwater Beach as I have eaten there, 1 called Mike's chili parlor in Ballard Washington state a suburb of Seattle( Greek owned & operated), 2 that are in Detroit, unfriendly family split & side by side places, Lafayette chili,& American Coney Island( Greek owned)

Skyline chili,Gold Star chili,Camp Washington chili,Park chili,Pleasant Ridge chili,Cincinnati chili,Homemade yesssss 40!

This video should have included price hill chili, blue ash chili , pleasant ridge chili, Dixie chili, & empress chili, they are all great also

SKYLINE! The Best.

Imagine the state of the sewers in Cincinatti....

I'll always pledge my allegiance to Gold Star. It was the first I ever had and when you live in Cincinnati for an extended period of time, you have to choose a place. 25 years later and I still rep them.

love both miss home me and my uncle would go to gs before work and eat coneys every day George gave us a line of credit we would pay every friday

Is the 1st host, Sarah Lapham kin/related to Cinti Bengals player Dave Lapham?, anyone know just curious ?

Skyline is the best, then Dixie, then gold star

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.

Gold Star First Skyline second

Cincinnati chili = hotdog toppings on plain spaghetti noodles!

I think they should have named it chili sauce also, people who are expecting thick chili like texas style or even frisch's chili are confused when they 1st try it. I really like it, i like all chili's actually, lol

Dixie Chili - 4 way

Lol it doesn’t get more midwestern than when you have to cut the spaghetti 😂. Nobody in Ohio knows how to twirl it anyways

skyline!!!!!!!!!!! the only time I ate goldstar was at a bengals game bc they didn't have skyline

Camp Washington is the best in my opinion.

I think if people come from out of the cinti chili region, and do not care for it, and want something that is more of a chili versus a chili sauce that we in the area all like, we should at least be courteous and refer them to frischs, or terry's turf club, or someplace where you know that they serve good chili, just to be hospitable.

I took my wife to camp the other day & told her it was the best cinti chili, not impressed since johnny is not working, chili had no spice flavor & tasted like ground beef( his bull meat) in water, has chunks of ground beef the size of small meat balls instead of all fine ground, portion was large & wanted to talk to Marie & see how he was feeling & she was gone at 3:45 already, went to the men's room & vulgar graffiti written every where no hand towels & employee asked me if I would get some up front, lady came out of women's restroom & said it needed attention & was nasty, 8 employees up front not working just gossiping with vulgar talk, floors needed swept & mopped, Johnny would have thrown an absolute fit if he walked in & saw this & would have fired everyone, place has really went down hill, I retired from railroad & have eaten there regularly since in the old brick building location & used to talk with johnny all the time

Blue Ash chili is fire 🔥

Skyline chili is way to sweet!!! Save the sugar and cinnamon for cookies!

Why the hell won't this video play??

blue ash for life 👊

Skyline is good but I prefer Gold Star.

You CANNOT get a good Philly cheesesteak outside of Philly.

Kevin, when you gave your opinion/quick interview about Skyline you should have introduced your wife, friend, nice lady, etc... obviously a great woman as my wife would have tore my butt for not introducing her even if it was briefly, lol, my wife is a great woman also my friend, but I would have heard about that, lol

gold star wipes skyline

Wow, all this food looks like thawed out barf 😅

Chili Johns is the best hands down. Its real texas chili with lots of meat. Cincy is more like a sauce

I love this shit am I am a true Texan - Matt

It's easy to understand why there are so many chili parlors in Cincinnati. They are still searching a recipe that tastes good. My advice? Stop trying and just go up to Detroit to gat a good tasty bowl. No need to thank me. Elsewhere you will read my unbiased opinion on which college football team is better, Michigan or osu.

Skyline. But let's face it. Cincinnati chili is really hot dog sauce.

Who puts chili over pasta? Oh God why?

I think this was started by Greek and Swiss immigrants.

Speghetti chile

i like when the servers are a grouchy immagrant family lol just a joke-does blue ash chili still exist? i had to get use to cinci style chili i love it now!! but i like moms the best!!

2:07 my type of woman 😩😏

Love Skyline an Goldstar Camp Washington mess with my stomach an is bland
