Did a little digging on my lunch break...and a little beyond my lunch break. Looks like, to the best of my knowledge, there are 32 different restaurants/franchises that serve their own original Cincinnati style chili recipe in the Greater Cincinnati area. (Mr. Hanton's is a traveling lunch truck with no physical storefront location.) Then there is also Worthmore's who sells their canned Cincinnati Style Chili in groceries, but doesn't have any restaurant operations at all. Anyway, this is as comprehensive as I could get:

I was thinking the same for my aunt and father tonight. There is only one left in the Bay Area though, the one on US19 in Clearwater.

Have you tried it? How does it rate?

Sorry, but, all Cincinatti chili is awful.

I'm gonna try to stop by some time in the next week or so for a dose.

:idunno: More for me, I suppose...

I'm trying to make up my mind if I'm gonna hit up a new spot for lunch today (which limits me to the north or central Cincinnati area), or if I want to wait and go somewhere for dinner instead, which gives me the opportunity to venture a little further out...

Looks like Obama prefers Skyline. How will this influence the outcome in the election? Will this have any impact on their business at Skyline?

He lost my vote.

Bought a 4-way and two cheese coneys. Gave it to someone as he walked out the door.

Yeah but Cincinnati's is great!

I've had Skyline, Empress, Gold Star, Dixie, US Chili, Mr. Gene's, Pleasant Ridge Chili, Price Hill Chili, Cretan's Grill and Camp Washington Chili. I've also had Worthmore's as well. I'd have to say it's a tie for me between Dixie and Camp Washington.

 

Add Park Chili Parlor, Gourmet Chili and Shimmers to my list.

After having Park Chili in Northside last week, and stopping back by Cretan's in Elmwood today, I've realized that I prefer coneys when the buns aren't steamed.

I had a couple of coneys at The Sports Page in downtown Cincy on Saturday. Good stuff there.

I think it would be awesome to hit all of the restaurants in CWB's list within a six month or less timeframe. Tonight is a fundraiser night at Skyline for my parish school. Can't wait!
