| - Regular 3-way, two cheese coneys with everything. And so it has gone for me for the past 18 years, from age 11 to age 29. And so it will go until the end of days.
Skyline Chili is on my very short list of foods that I would consider requesting as a last meal if I were ever on Death Row. Why I would ever be on Death Row is a mystery, but I digress.
"Cincinnati Chili" is really more of a sauce than it is a chili. You can order a bowl of it, but you shouldn't. I almost broke up with a girlfriend, once, because she failed to listen to my expert advice in this matter, and then had the audacity to tell me that the chili sucked.
Skyline chili is one of two places where I never know what I want my last taste to be. Yes, I'm a last taste guy. Taco Bell is other place. Sometimes, the added flavors of the hot dog, onions, and mustard seem like the way to go. Other times, the purity of the 3-way is the answer. The good news is that, if I make a mistake, I can order more food and have it quickly delivered to my table and right the wrong.
Speaking of quickly, that is one often underestimated aspect of nearly every Skyline Chili I've ever stepped inside. They are fast as all get-out. If they are not busy, they are as fast as any fast food chain, and the food is far better.
People who live in regions of the country that are not serviced by Skyline or some other variant of Cincinnati Chili are truly missing out.
