Skyline Chili (and Cake)

Greensboro, NC -- Earlier this week, Katie tryed her hand at cooking some good ol' fashioned chili for dinner. It took her less than an hour to concoct the meal, but it featured a prominent dose of spicey tomatoes, beans and chili powder. Yes, that can do a number on anyone's colon and I was a victim of its ramifications. Her chili wasn't bad at all -- in fact, I took the leftovers to work and had them for lunch the next day. A couple of weeks ago, I really started to enjoy this new Big & Rich song, called "Coming To Your City." They basically sing about a roadtrip they're on and mention that they must have some "skyline chili" when they reach Cincinnati. It'll make them "happy." I went to their website here and apparently, it's "world famous."

You know how everyone has their signature meal that they can cook? I think for guys, chili would be the #1 signature dish. For example, on the hit TV show, "Roseanne," the only thing that Dan Connor can cook is "Dan's Famous Chili." I was at the Waffle House this past weekend and there's a sign on its wall that reads "Try Bert's Famous Chili." If you've ever cooked chili, aren't you suppose to let it sit and stir for half the day?

If I'm ever in Cincinnati for the day, I'm sure I'll give this world famous chili a shot. Any recommendations for the perfect chili? Since Cakes went to college outside of Cincinasti, I guess she has a tiny knack for chili making.

Don't try skyline. its yet another disgusting product of the Midwest (known for their bad taste in well, most everything)- I mean, this is also the area of our country that produces BENGALS fans (UUUGHHHH. no more "WHO DEY". please).

Don't trust their taste in cuisine.

Skyline Chili is awesome. You can stuff your face for 5 bucks and they have some of the best coneys. There's one in Clearwater Beach, FL.

How is there one in Clearwater Beach when its headquarters is in Cincinnati? They skipped all of the states in between -- Carolina!

At least I won't have to go to Cincinnasty to try some.
