Best dish out there. Those of you who hail from around Cincinnati will know what I am talking about. Personally, I prefer my mother's recipe over Skyline and Goldstar, but Skyline or Goldstar are good for lunch every now and again.

I only had the "chili" dogs, i think they were called coneys or something. That spaghetti 3way stuff wasnt very good imo.

Skyline isn't too bad compared to other brands of canned chili I've tried ... of course it sucks compared to my home-made stuff but thats not really a fair comparision.

My kids love Skyline, except for the chili. They just want a hot dog with cheese. :D

I got hooked on the cinnamon in Skyline.
Now I put a little cinnamon in my own homemade chili, and even on the rare occasion that I have "canned" chili, I put some in there also (along with cumin, chili powder, etc.). Not many canned chilis "do it" for me!

Hey. Hey. Stop it.

Skyline rules, I don't care if it's technically chili or not, call it what you will, but its awesome. My favorite fast food except Chipotle.

Fixed.

Chili without beans is not Chili at all - it is sauce.

Don't fix what's not broken. You silly Yankees need to stop putting beans in chili.

I hate it. They put cinnamon in it and everything is ground up too fine. I tried to like it but just can't stand it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chili_con_carne

Pinto beans (frijoles), a staple of Tex-Mex cooking, have long been associated with chili and the question of whether beans "belong" in chili has been a matter of contention amongst chili cooks for an equally long time. It is likely that in many poorer areas of San Antonio and other places associated with the origins of chili, beans were used rather than meat or in addition to meat due to poverty. In that regard, it has been suggested by some chili aficionados that there were probably two chili types made in the world, depending on what could be afforded and how frugal the cook was.

As chili spread east into areas where beef was more expensive (beef was plentiful and cheap in San Antonio and other cattle towns), chili with Pinto or other beans became more prevalent. In some eastern areas, this dish is referred to as "chili beans" while the term chili is reserved for the all-meat dish. Other changes included the adding of other vegetables. Tomatoes are almost always used, bell peppers are common and even celery appears in recipes. Many easterners are just as adamant about the inclusion of beans in their chili for an authentic flavor as Texans are about their exclusion.

Most commercially prepared canned chili includes beans. Commercial chili prepared without beans is usually called "Chili No Beans". A vocal minority of self-styled 'chili experts' believe that beans and chili should always be cooked separately and served on the side. It is then up to the consumer to stir his preferred quantity of beans into his own bowl. Some cooks prefer black beans, black-eyed peas, or kidney beans instead of pinto beans.

A popular saying among self-proclaimed chili purists is "If you know beans about chili, you know chili ain't got no beans". The thought that beans do not belong in chili may be further credited to the fact that most ?official? chili cook-offs do not allow beans. In many cases a chili will be disqualified if it contains such ingredients considered ?filler?. Article I, A, 2 of the CASI rules states: "2. NO FILLERS IN CHILI - Beans, macaroni, rice, hominy, or other similar ingredients are not permitted."

Anyone arguing about real chili or not is a fucking retard. If it tastes good to me, I don't give a crap what you want to call it.

Weird, I was just watching a recorde episode of No Reservations in Cleveland where Anthony takes his friend (a real douche, I might add) to Skyline and this thread popped up. I've never tried it, and have to say it looks rather unappetizing, but being of Greek heritage, I am accustomed to the flavor of spices like cinnamon with meats. If I'm ever in Ohio (god forbid ;)), I will definitely give it a try at least.

PS, oh no another chili debate. *runs*
