Original Skyline Chili. This restaurant would become embedded in the culture of Cincinnati. This location was Nicholas thought of the name Skyline because of the view of Cincinnati's skyline from his restaurant. In Nicholas Lambrinides was born in the city of Kastoria, Greece. He left Greece and moved to Cincinnati in Thirty-seven years later he opened a restaurant with his sons which was named skyline chili.

Nicholas came up with this name after looking at the skyline of Cincinnati from his restaurant. He served chili that he made using his families recipes that he brought with him from Greece. The First Skyline opened was at Glenway Avenue in Another secret for making your Cincinnati Chili even more authentic is to put the ground beef in a food processor and get it very finely chopped before boiling. When finished the chili should be a bit watery — this is where the Oyster Crackers come in.

I too lived in Cincinnati most of life and now in Florida. Never fry meat, cook in water for 3 hours, and our family recipe was with Bay leaves and tomato paste, not sauce. I also miss white castles. When we go home, we eat a lot of them plus bring some back. Frozen ones are not quite as good but we do buy. Yep…in California now. White Castles, cheeseconeys and 4-ways are needed to solve the problems of the world.

I tried the frozen version made by Skyline and it had an almost star anise or licorice taste to it. Anyone know what that is? The first Cinci Chili I ever had was back in about or 52…I was about five and the one thing I remember about the restaurant was — in addition to the GREAT taste — that there was a bowling alley on the floor above us!

My dad mentioned it a time or two, but I never thought to ask him where the store was! Any other Cincy natives out there old enough to remember anything like that? As a young kid, they had the best chili spag and coneys, but they were a ways from where I grew up. Anybody remember the place, or the name? Skyline and Goldstar were started by men who worked in Empress kitchen. Empress Chili was on E. Went there with dad about Thank you Nancy!

Some people just get caught up in semantics rather than recognize and appreciate history and food culture.

If we were relying solely on logic, we could point to authentic Mexican chili vs. Hust made two pots with and without beans and all the toppings…. There are two chili parlors in Cincinnati. One is Empress Chilli and the other is Skyline. Slightly different recipes. Hamburger must be boiled several hours. The chocolate gives it that special flavor and the cumin is a must.

This is Cincinnati Chili. There are more than two chili parlors. I remember Gold Star achili was another favorite and there was another in downtown Sharonville that was great! Now I have to have this for breakfast just like yesterday! There are no parlors here in Omaha, so I make it once a year. I made it on Sunday and it should be approaching perfection right about now. I used to make this at the firehouse and the team loved it. I know this is probably against the law somewhere, but… my wife does not eat red meat, so, I make it with ground turkey and I think that there is no real difference in the taste or texture.

He got the original recipe and was swern to secrecy and when my Mother past away it was past to me. Well we had a fire and lost everything! But there were things about the recipe about how it was really cooked and bay leaves were in the original. What gives??

The cans of Skyline have little white pieces mixed in which kind of look like beef tripe. Anyone what that is? Whoever wrote this is ill informed. Sorry for the nitpicking but, Cincinnati style chili is a passion of mine as it is with any Cincinnatian.

If you did say that, the server would, right away know that you have never been to a Cincinnati Chili restaurant before. Cincinnati chili spaghetti is defined in 3 ways.

The 3-way is the spaghetti, chili, and cheese.
