Skyline Chili is a culinary landmark in Cincinnati, Ohio, famed for its signature spaghetti topped with chili and cheese, causing both addiction and revulsion.
Skyline Chili may be America's quirkiest culinary idiom. The signature dish of Cincinnati, Ohio — it's also the name of the casual-dining chain that made it famous — is nothing more than spaghetti topped with chili and piled high with shredded cheddar cheese. 'It's weird to a lot of people,' Sherry Tomlinson, whose grandfather and father, Nick and Bill Lambrinides, were two of the co-founders of Skyline Chili, told Fox News Digital in an interview.
People either love it or it's just not their thing,' she said. 'But people who love it become addicted to it.' Skyline Chili boasts an appealing retro diner-counter vibe, the charms of the Skyline brand compounded by its own lingo. Skyline's famous spaghetti with 'secret-recipe' chili and cheese is simply called 3 Way. Add diced onion or beans, and it's called 4 Way; add both, and it's known as 5 Way. Skyline Chili also offers Coneys.
The short, stubby hot dogs are 'specially made' for Skyline Chili, according to its menus. Coneys are served on a bun with mustard, the house chili and available with cheese or without. A small 3 Way plus a cheese Coney and soda, eaten in-house with friendly diner counter service, cost just $13.09 with tax during a recent visit to the Ludlow Avenue Skyline Chili in Cincinnati's Clifton neighborhood. It's a bona fine bargain in terms of cost per calorie.
