Cue the cliche intro:
April showers bring May flowers….
Well actually they bring chili cravings!
Yes, yes, when it happens to be April, thunder-storming and threatening freezing rain and hail…
Yes my new car was hit with its first dose of hail yesterday.. (Sad Face Here)
It is probably time to check out that place, that chili place, the one that has been around since 1931. The one that everyone says should be tried after multiple rounds of drinks…
Despite not being inebriated, I needed chili. Cincinnati style chili, the kind served over spaghetti, topped with cheese and onions. (Sorry Skyline, I’m totally about to cheat on you: if you do not know what Skyline Chili is, I’m sorry.)
It was time to check out Real Chili. A local legend.
You walk in and hello:
Hello Happy Days, where’s the Fonz at? O yeah, his statue is right down the street. I may or may not have posed by it a few times….
A single spicy chili please with spaghetti, and a side of cheese and onions. (Yes Skyline I’m hoping it tastes like you)
Due to the weather, this was exactly what I wanted. However I have a feeling it tastes better after one too many beers. Just saying 🙂
As a tried and true Texas refugee, I am loyally committed to chili in the form of frito pie (open single bag of fritos, top with scoop of chili, then cheddar and onions), but I’ve always been intrigued by chili Cincinnati-style too. I guess it’s kinda like spaghetti with meat sauce, no? Anyway, sounds perfect on this rainy crummy day!!
ooo frito pie yum! Yes Cincinnati style chili is kinda like spaghetti with meat sauce 🙂
