I was reading the comprehensive list of chili places thread and it got me thinking, I'm not a fan of Cincinnati style chili. It's just too runny IMO. Skyline seems to be the worst offender of what I had. Gold Star isn't much better. I hate how it slops everywhere and there's not much meat in there to begin with. I like the thick chili my mom makes at home much better.

Anyone else agree or am I alone?


On a side note I also like Gold Star better than Skyline. I like their hot dogs and cheese better. Of course I don't get chili on them.

You said two things that offend me ... you dislike Cincinnati chili and you like Gold Star better than Skyline ...

I'm sure there's plenty of people that are the same way - I know some people that aren't fans of Cincinnati chili. It's definitely a different taste, and it's either something you love or hate.

It's not a big difference, but Gold Start is also a little cheaper, so that's the main reason why.

Have you been to any other chilli parlor besides Gold Star and Skyline? (Both are awful)

You can make your own chili and make it as thick as you want.

Personally, I prefer to make my own because I can put as much chili as I want. Both Gold Star and Skyline have gotten cheap with their portions of chili.

Ok, good. I couldn't stand it either when I tried Skyline. A lot of posters on here don't like it either. I'm not from Cincinnati, but love it.

Do a search for threads with "Cincinnati chili" as the subject and you'll hear me going on about my dislike for it. Bombarding dishwater-marinated ground chuck with cheese and grated onions doesn't change that it tastes like dishwater-marinated ground chuck (sometimes with a hint of chocolate or cinnamon.) Texas style is the way to go!
It does feel like a lonely club to be in sometimes. So I should be more understanding when anybody says they're not a schnecken fan or prefer UDF ice cream to Graeter's.

I can't get enough of the stuff. I've been to a lot of bad Skylines, but the best Skylines are far better than the best Goldstars. Clifton Skyline is a common favorite for good reason. I like all the indies, too. And hell if I wouldn't die for some Goldstar right now. I like it all. I want it NOW!!!
