Cincinnati chili has one of the biggest disconnects between looks and taste in food. It looks like absolute trash. It's a meal you would assume a hobo made from random dumpster dives. Sometimes they show a big plate of it during a national sports broadcast that's in Cincinnati, and I've seen people leave the room because it literally makes them nauseous. But damn if it isn't shockingly tasty, filling, and satisfying. Something about the cinnamon and beans, plus spaghetti underneath just clicks, and it's rare to find someone who generally doesn't like it when they give it a chance. It's a weird food.
Funny I had n eee ver heard of this. But I thought to myself that’s a really good idea. (I like chili, I like spaghetti, so why not.) but I’m like damn that picture makes it look awful.
cinnamon
That's not helping.
There's cinnamon in it? 🤢
Yum, it's Skyline time!
Throw some oyster crackers on there for crunch and more carbs, and it’s even better.
Just good vibes at skyline.
Im confused... cincinatti chili is the shit. This is coming from a person who has never been remotely near cincinatti.
When you hear jokes about Italians getting angry at non-traditional pizzas, in reality it's about certain Americans and chili.
They'll literally beat eachother up if there's beans, no beans, this spice, not that spice, etc. While Italians don't give a fuck about peoples pizza, as long as they don't try to call it authentic Italian when it's not.
I'm high and would definitely eat this rn.
Coming off 72 hours of non stop nausea and I'd eat any fucking thing I can.
The metric shitload of cheese would make me apprehensive about making myself nauseous again, but the chili spaghetti can get straight into my belly. It's like chili mac for people of culture.
Thankfully it says cheese is not included.
I can just use a regular amount if I make it. I wonder how different types of cheese will taste on it.
Parmesan would be interesting. Blue cheese would be horrid but I wanna try that too.
Like enough for one bite so the rest isn't ruined.
What? That looks delicious.
Three anti-Ohio memes on the front page right now.
I feel like I missed something.
I'm also not sure I want to know.
This is supposed to go on Fritos. Why do y'all put yourselves through this in the Midwest?
With the texture of those noodles, I can only imagine this is like a bland version of a soggy Frito pie.
Nah it’s actually quite flavorful. It’s more like a carby coney dog
Is that not normal food where you’re from?
Yes, and it isn't bad actually. Just overpriced.
Yeah honestly it’s one of the few meats I still crave as a pescatarian, which is weird because it’s always been pretty good but nothing super special aside from tasting like home
Chili Mac is definitely a delicious thing. Why not Chili Spaghetti?!
This is good a few times a year. You can get habanero cheese and they have a good house hot sauce. You can also do mini coneys instead of noodles.
What is a mini coney? Like Fritos?
Lol no a small chili cheese dog. Usually get three https://www.skylinechili.com/menu/
It needs that much cheese just to be palatable, for me anyway. That chili is nasty.
chili spaghetti is extremely normal tho ?
i mean skyline sux and all but like
Burn the heretic! Skyline rules!
Sometimes, you just want Gold Star Chili
I think we have different ideas of "extremely normal".
EDIT: Also, that looks like around a pound of cheese on top of that dish, goddamn!
As a native, I can confirm that when you order a three-way (no I'm not kidding, that's actually what they're called) they will absolutely murder it with shredded cheese. Sometimes it's piled up like 3-4 inches high. They do the same with the coneys too but you can only really stack like 2 inches of cheese on a hot dog bun.
It’s fluffy cheese, way less than you would have on pizza anyway
That guy must have never left Cincinnati, because they're the only people in the world who like this stuff
Whenever you’re feeling good and hungry….
Truly terrifying
Chilimac is great. It is not like regular chili and is best topped with cheddar cheese and diced onion.
Gotta add some doritos to it
So, you’re looking at this and it looks like normal chili. And you’re thinking chili with cheese and spaghetti, yeah I could go for that. Then you eat it, and some asshole put cinnamon in the chili instead of chili powder and cumin and you realize you have been duped into eating Christmas vomit with cheese and noodles.
Don't get me wrong, I like all these things. But this looks fucking disgusting. Get better cooking skills. Don't treat yourself like this.
