Skyline is pretty much a local chain -- they're all over Louisville and Lexington.  Also a few GoldStar Chilis, which also offers Cincinnati style chili.  We go to Skyline fairly regularly.  It's good stuff and reasonably priced.  Personally I go for cheese coneys with mustard and onion.

Cincy chili is weird, the founders of both of those chains were Greek immigrants, and I think you can taste it in the spice mix they use.  It has more cinnamon than cumin in it. Whatever you call it, it tastes good.

i grew up with skyline as a regular treat. my dad called it "skih-LEE-nay" because that's what dads do. chili cheese dog and a three-way, that's my order.

still, that chili dog doesn't compare to the best in the world at what used to be called "Dirty John's" or "John the Hot's" and is now known as "New Way Lunch" in my dad's hometown of Glens Falls, NY. it's about an hour north of albany and seriously JAYZUS FUCK those dogs are fanTAStic and everybody in the world needs to get there once to know what they've been missing their entire lives.

Mike, stop there next time you leave the city for upstate and prove me wrong. I DARE YOU.

Well, I mean, I'm exiled by lack of funds again upstate right now but...

I used to go to the Glens Falls area once a summer to Great Escape Theme Park as a kid so I'm familiar with the area but...

I never heard of that one. Hafta try it out next time I'm up there.

I used to think of Glens Falls as mostly the hometown of Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Rachel Ray.

But now it is the hometown of Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Rachel Ray and Choop's dad.

In Northwest Ohio, we had Tony Packo's Hungarian-style chili dogs. (One of Toledo's two claims to fame; the other being Jamie Farr, whose character on M*A*S*H* occasionally got wistful for a Packo's dog.) For a while, my dad was running a little imports ring, bringing down jars of sweet hot pickles to the other teachers down here. One of the ladies confessed to being so addicted to the pickles that she was eating them for breakfast.

I had a Ben's Chili Bowl half-smoke with everything at the Nats game yesterday. Not something I do often, but every once in a while, one does what one has to do.

I got halfway through that sentence before my brain went "oh, the place that Klinger loves and they had the cast of MASH come in and sign buns.

I've only had Cinci-style chili at Hard Times but based on that a Cinci 4-way with jalapenos is my favorite chili there is.

Mayor, despite living here since 1989 I still haven't been to Ben's.

I only finally made it to Ben's a couple years ago because I was assigned to write a newspaper story. And for the life of me I can't remember if I ate anything.

I learned something amazing this morning.
PAM spray works a million times better than olive oil.
For years I have suffered with the splatter and inferior quality of olive oil as a lubricant for my pans. It was like a whole new world opened up to me. The eggs, they just slid around like they were floating on clouds. The clean up took seconds. No longer do I come home to a disgusting stove and oil splattered floors. Suddenly every pan is a teflon pan. Watching the eggs glide out of the pan onto my toast, my face was that of a new father watching a child be born. "This is fuck*ng amazing."

 And olive oil has a low smoke point too.  Olive oil is for dressing/dipping

Yeah thanks for the advice Mr.Johnny Come Lately. I could have used that knowledge about 12 years ago.

But do those eggs actually taste better with Pam than with olive oil?

Some things are worth suffering a little for, in my opinion.

Eggs cooked in butter taste even better.

Bacon grease is reserved for hiking trips where it is dripped on braided pepperoni bread.

My old neighbor Walter liked to put bacon grease in his coffee in lieu of milk.

He lived well into his eighties despite drinking probably 15 Utica Club beers a day.

Good guy.
