When I think of a typical chili, I think of a hearty, chunky, meaty stew with beans and spices. About Skyline chili, it is completely different. I would call it a meat sauce finely blended with spice. Almost gravy like texture with a completely different taste than a regular chili. People say it's the cinnamon.
The coneys with everything rocked. The classic combination of the hot dog, chili, onions, mustard, and cheese works well. These are small so order more than one to satisfy your appetite. The 5-way spaghetti is interesting and is growing on me. I'm still getting used to the texture of the chili with spaghetti. My favorite so far has been the chili deluxe and bean mix burritos.
I have been to Skyline several times, and it's growing on me. Definitely an acquired taste. Service is okay at this location, and it is not too expensive. Give it a try.
