Cincinnati Chili
You may wonder what makes Cincinnati Chili so special, it definately isn’t Texas style chili. Macedonian immigrant Tom Kiradjieff created Cincinnati chili in 1922. He added middle eastern spices to his chili and called it “spaghetti chili’. This “spaghetti chili” has been popular ever since. Cincinnati chili has a much thinner consistency to it than compared to Texas Chili. Some say the secret is to not brown the ground meat but to let it cook in the sauce.

Now you can serve up your chili in one of many different ways.

One of my favorite ‘famous’ recipes is Cincinnati chili – don’t know if you’ve ever had it, but several places in
Cincy specialize in it (Goldstar and Skyline are two of the majors). It’s a spicy/sweet chili of Greek origin, typically served over spaghetti and topped w/ cheese, onions, and beans. Brian Harper
