Skyline Chili

Both my parents were Kentuckians and I also have family in Cincy. Never been to a Skyline’s but I was raised on Cincinnati Chili and while it’s really not ‘chili’ in a classic sense, it’s damn good. I have been using this recipe for years and usually double up on the spices. Go ‘all the way’.
You’re welcome.

I would just consider it spaghetti with meat sauce and then it might be ok to eat. Might. Probably not though.

It is Greek bolognese sauce. A version of Makaronia Me Kima.
They call it chili I assume because "chili on spaghetti" sounds simpler and chili spaghetti was a thing anyway.

I believe I'd like it better if it was loaded on baked potatoes.

Have you guys tasted real Cincinnati chili? I have to think not. It is served over spaghetti but it is nothing like spaghetti and meat sauce. Authentic Cincy chili is really, really good.

The spice profile and use of chocolate is totally different - no similarity in taste imho.

Do you use cinnamon, cloves, allspice, bay leaves, and chocolate in your spaghetti sauce?
Have you tasted Cincy Chili? Trust me - it is a unique taste....Man you guys are missing out - I have a tear in my eye...I am all up in my Cincy chili feels...

That was my thought when he said chocolate.
I like virtually everything about Cincinnati. I'm a Reds and Bengals fan. I look going there for various things.
The 1 thing I hate about Cincinnati is this thing they call "chili."

The chocolate is unsweetened and just adds a subtle flavor, not anything overwhelming. This is definitely a regional comfort food. I can’t speak to Skyline, I’m just referencing the dish in general. I hope some one will try the recipe I linked... and go heavy on the spices

I did scoff at the bbq place in Indy I was forced to go to when they suggested the breaded pork tenderloin sammich as their specialty. I'll be damned if it's wasnt delicious. I'll be kind and not mention their ribs or brisket though, lol.

Whatevs @JB:hello:
I've never had it, but I like spaghetti and I like chili. I'd try it, and just eat it for what it is rather than trying to envision it as actual chili.
But then again, I'm the guy who loves peanut butter on hamburgers.

And we cannot forget the coneys.
Can’t knock it till you try it, Coney’s are my usual go to but can’t go wrong with the 4 way with onions dry.

Technically I can't confirm all of the above post BUT is is a Greek recipe and it is nothing like Texas Chilli. In fact, once people get over the fact it is not Chilli in a traditional sense it is so good. Certainly not low cal nor good on the heart
We have a chain as well called BlueAsh Chilli I die for the 6-way. the 6th item is deep fried jaelpena peppers. Toss some franks hot sauce on top and have at it. But warm up with the Coney first.

p.s. I make Texas style chilli most every month all winter.
