08.17.09 = SKYLINE CHILI!!! To follow yesterdays post, my topic this week is local food. Even if you have never been to Cincinnati, you may have heard of "Cincinnati Style Chili". We like our chili a little bit different here; over speghetti. A 3-way is spaghetti topped with chili and cheese; 4-ways, the same with your choice of beans or onions added and a 5-way, both beans and onions added. The chili is not a tomato base or a Texas style chili it has a touch of cinnamon and some say, chocolate in it. The secret family recipe is kept in a safe! My favorite are the cheese coneys; little hot dogs with chili, mustard, onions topped with a mountain of cheese. Oh, and dont forget the oyster crackers on the side! Skyline chili, a hometown favorite!
