If you drop ground beef into boiling water, it rapidly gets to the required temperature >165F very quickly.

Most of the chili parlors in Cincinnati, Milwaukee, etc., keep their chili in crocks around 175F until service.

I really wonder if most of the chili at Gold Star and Skyline is produced in a commissary and delivered frozen to the stores.

I think you can bet on that.

That temp will most certainly kill any bacteria that tries to grow on the meat. Good to know. Thanks.

Oh, yeah.

The Gold Star commissary used to be in Mt. Washington; a friend of mine lived across the street. Some days the aroma was ... not so bad. Other days, it was horrid. Dunno if it's still there.

I think that they moved their commissary down to the Lunken Airport area. AT least that is where there headquarters is now located. (Your friend lived on Salvador Ave.?)

It was there. They closed down that building maybe ten years ago and built a new one on the site of the old Hardees/Burger Chef.

I am so old that I actually remember heading down to Hamburger Heaven for the chili ... back in 1964-65. Food for a family of six for $6-8.
