It’s always treacherous attempting an iconic, regional specialty like Cincinnati-style chili, especially when you’ve never actually had the “real thing.” People are very protective of these types of dishes, and any variance from what they think the recipe should be is met with a visceral condemnation. On the other hand, the food Gods hate a coward, and so I made it anyway.

Chef John, it's supposed to have cocoa powder!!! And maybe nutmeg.
Chef john this tasted amazine, made this yesterday and it was good on spaghetti and nachos. What we didnt eat i froze for a tasty lunch one day.
Chef John is in Big Ten territory here. He probably didn't think about Ioway for his Four Way, or Five Way.
Made this for some friends for their dinner. I liked the taste test… it cooked down much more quickly than 1 to 1 and 1/2 hours! So keep an eye on it! V easy!
Ever in Cincy stop at Jungle Jim's. You'll probably relocate nearby once you've seen the greatest grocery store in the world.
5:27 implying cincy has tourists.
Did you just boil raw ground beef?
Just made this. Pretty good recreation of Skyline & Gold Star, and similar to Detroit/Flint Coney Island chili too!
Everything good in the south is just awful in the north.
Beef stock. Not water.
teach us how to make Cincinnati-style bowties next
i got confused during a 5 way too chef john. Is it normal to want a salami over a tuna taco?
We have something really similar in the midwest but called spaghetti red
A 5 way is beans and onion.
OH NOOOOO!!!!
I think this is supposed to be like Skyline's chilli. Interested to try this recipe. Great videos btw.
I will always remember to get a 3-way and small drink at Skyline Chili. feeling good.
Stay out of all of Ohio.
My kid says thats spaghetti mom
The juices at the bottom of the serving dish are usually soaked up with crushed oyster crackers and eaten in Cincinnati.
We serve over noodles in Wisconsin and we love saltine crackers too…
Looks just like Skyline Chilli !!
Glorified spaghetti with sauce
I'm so confused. All of the pumpkin pie spices and the sugar in with chili just overwhelmed my brain. LOL
Chef John… would you ever do a video on Texas style chili?
Dude I mess with some Skyline, not enough cheese tho ?
