It was developed by immigrants, but Cincinnati Chili is not an ethnic food. A uniquely American cuisine, chili is the food of assimilationand a Cincinnati tradition. In the city, there are over 300 chili parlors. We visit three of the most popular: Gold Star, Skyline and Camp Washington.

Clifton is the best 20 years ago and still today!
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.
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!!
Only learned of Cincinnati Chili a few hours ago, already ready to plan my trip there haha
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.
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.
That's Chili "SAUCE". It's only good when poured over other food. Real Chili is "Chili Con Carne". A real bowl of Chili is much thicker and is a meal all by itself. And YES I agree… Texas Chili sucks. I was a judge in a Texas Chili contest. It was all WAYYYY too thin and WAYYY too salty. Wendys Chili is much closer to the real thing , but I've had better.
I wish all these quote “Chili Fans” would eat this stuff WITHOUT CHEESE. Skyline Chili not Skyline Cheese.
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.
Empress chili. Skyline….. the absolute best !
Chili Johns is the best hands down. Its real texas chili with lots of meat. Cincy is more like a sauce
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
I think this was started by Greek and Swiss immigrants.
I miss Gold Star Chili
Damnit….now I want some!!!! I miss living in Cincinnati!! ???
If you have to cut your red sauce with pasta, You need to rethink your life choices!
Empress chili is my favorite but as for chains go I like skyline.
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!
Skyline all the way just ate there last night yum
Skyline chili,Gold Star chili,Camp Washington chili,Park chili,Pleasant Ridge chili,Cincinnati chili,Homemade yesssss 40!
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.
It's hotdog chili sauce over spaghetti noodles. Yuck
My mom is from that area, when she visits she always brings a few cans back to Cali for me. Yum !
Skyline chili is the best chili hands down
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
RIP Roselawn chili time
Camp Washington was notoriously segregated and racist when i lived there so I never got to try it but Im sure it is delish
Dixie Chili was not mentioned. It's better than all in the video
Been to Cincy many times, love the Chili, we can buy Skyline at the Fry's grocery stores here in Phoenix, (frys is Kroger) like 4.00 a can, but we make it from scratch, we have two recipes, not sure which is better,
Skyline is the best, then Dixie, then gold star
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.
No war, Skyline takes the bread. Then Pleasant, andGold star is last.
Nice food ?,
There are some really great small chili parlors in cincy
I wonder if the chili palace is still around, last time I ate the palace was like 1991
Skyline is terrible
Skyline. But let's face it. Cincinnati chili is really hot dog sauce.
Camp Washington is the way to go!!!
Really? No mention of Dixie? Dixie Chili is the best
I ate both places and they are both good
Skyline…..
