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.
I would 100% eat this without beans.
Before anyone decides to come at me, I am autistic and the texture of most beans make me want to puke.
cinnamon
That's not helping.
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.
I love the chili dogs
I can only stand Cincinnati chili with a bunch of cheese and hot sauce. The coneys are the best way to eat that chili close second is a chili dip.
Camp Washington Chili is probably the best place I’ve been to. Puts Skyline and Gold Star in their place.
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.
First they ignore you
Then they laugh at you
Then they fight you
Then you win
We have corn, hell signs, and skyline chili, there is a lot going on here.
This is supposed to go on Fritos. Why do y'all put yourselves through this in the Midwest?
I assure you, this is a strictly Cincinnati phenomenon.
It’s all over the cities remotely close to Cincinnati too… and it’s actually pretty good. Not big on the spaghetti part, but the chili is pretty good.
Nah we got this shit in the south too.
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.
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
It needs that much cheese just to be palatable, for me anyway. That chili is nasty.
Whenever you’re feeling good and hungry….
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 honestly never had chili on spaghetti till I moved here. It also only happened because we were too poor for spaghetti sauce.
i mean it's spiced differently and usually has beans but the main ingredient is still tomatoes. not that different from having a meat sauce
Well and the cinnamon. And the shredded cheddar cheese.
ALL the shredded cheddar cheese
the only restaurant chili with cinnamon is skyline, which is specifically why i dont like it
