#greenscreen Ever heard of
#SkylineChili? The unofficial
#state food of
#Ohio,
#Skyline is the largest
#chain selling
#CincinnatiChili, a unique regional dish that perhaps resembles a
#Greek #mousaka slightly more than what most
#American's (especially those in
#Texas) consider to be '
#chili.' Traditionally,
#Cincy chili is served over
#spaghetti, in whats known as a 3-way (spaghetti, chili, cheese), adding onions makes it a 4-way, beans a 5-way.
#Coneys are what the
#hotdogs are called, but there are also chili burritos (
#chilitos), salads, baked potatoes, and straight up bowls on the menu.
#Cincinnati absolutely loves their chili, so much so that Skyline's competitor,
#GoldStar, itself has 85 locations, primarily selling Cincinnati Chili (though Gold Star has burgers and milkshakes as well). No city on the planet has more chili restaurants than Cincinnati, Ohio, where Skyline, Gold Star, and a plethora of local spots like
#PriceHillChili,
#DixieChili,
#BlueAshChili,
#PleasantRidgeChili,
#CampWashingtonChili, and so many more serve ways and coneys, totaling about 250 restaurants in
#GreaterCincinnati (meaning the states of Ohio,
#Indiana, and
#Kentucky have both chains, and
#Florida also has Skyline). Its estimated that Cincinnatians eat over 2 million pounds of cheese atop Cincinnati chili each year, and Skyline's annual revenue surpassed $175m in 2024.
