^^^^^ Cincy Chili does taste a bit different because of the spices used. I’ve had a fair amount of Cincy Chili served to me, a common spice is Cinnamon, sometimes nutmeg or even cocoa powder, and the Thanksgiving Spices like cloves or Allspice. Everybody makes it a little differently, most guard Ye Olde Family Recipe and don’t share the details.

I prefer my Okie-Tex Chili, but to each their own.

Some blueberries afterwards.

In the Navy they sometimes served an SOS variant at Midats which was toast topped with a chili type concoction. Good if you where on the 12-8 shift as it stuck with you all night, with usually an emergency bathroom sit down at about 3 am.

Yes, Cincinnati type uses a spice that I find unpleasant in chili. Cloves? Cinnamon? I don't remember, it's been a long time since I had any.

Believe the strongest is Cinnamon, we had one of the original Skyline Chili founders family lived in the neighborhood before he passed on..

A 5 way and a few Coney Dogs are excellent on a cold winters day...

What is in a Skyline 5-way?




Description: This classic Cincinnati dish starts with a foundation of spaghetti noodles coated in Skyline's secret blend of seasonings. A heaping spoonful of kidney beans goes on next, followed by Skyline's "original, secret-recipe chili," some chopped onions and a heaping mound of finely shredded aged cheddar.

IF you don't like beans, then you get the 4 way.

Beans are not in the Chili but piled on top...
