I grew up in Florida and my family from Cincinnati would come visit us. My Aunt Audrey (rest in peace ) would make this stuff from scratch. The only difference between hers and Skyline is that hers was made with LOVE. Now I live near Pittsburgh and this stuff is nowhere to be found. When I go visit my fam in Cinci, Skyline for chili and Gold Star for a coney is a must visit. Last Christmas my sister and I made a visit to the B.A. Sweetie candy store and found out Skyline was right around the corner. We had our own Christmas miracle.My profile picture is from our visit in December. I even bought a Christmas bulb and a T-shirt. In fact on this day when my sister and I left we got a to go for her son and our brother who we delivered it to him at work after our hour and a half trip home. He was stoked for his early Christmas gift. One of the best gifts you can give a person is nostalgic food. I have 4 older brothers and 1 younger sister and we all love it. Cincinnati style chili is true soul food for us. However, I do agree that Cinci style chilli is a required taste (my wife does not like it and it breaks my heart). I guess you can't win them all. Today the same brother that received the early Christmas gift and I are in Cleveland for our daughters' dance competition and you better believe we are going to drive 30 minutes out of our way to hit up Skyline! I would give it 10 stars if I could. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!
