I’m guessing you’re making your own with a name brand can? What do you use for the cheese?
The cheese they use in their restaurants is great but hard to find. It’s all light and airy like it was grated by fairies with tiny cheese graters.
But it melts in an instant so if you get carry out conies and eat ‘em 10 minutes later, it’s basically just melted cheese.
Also, Skyline’s name brand hot sauce is a legitimately killer hot sauce.

My regular exposure to Cincinnati specialties was and is on visits to Kings Island.
1. I'm a fan of LaRosa's Pizza. It's hand-tossed, saucy and the sauce is a little sweet. I have an appreciation for lesser known regional pizza and LaRosa's fits in that niche. I also think Columbus-style pizza and Indiana-style pizza are underappreciated.
2. I think Skyline coneys are okay. I prefer a Chicago-style dog or Cleveland-style Polish Boy (there's no way of posting that without sounding like a creep).
3. Graeter's Ice Cream is good, but I can get 5 quarts of Blue Bell or 6 quarts of United Dairy Farmers Homemade Brand Ice Cream for the price of one quarter of Graeter's.

I have to admit, and yes, I've had them in Chicago, but Chicago-style hot dogs IMO are never as good as I think they are going to be. Give me a Hot Dog Shoppe chili/cheese/onion dog out in Warren or Girard any day.
Now, Chicago Italian Beef sandwiches? Those rock.

I should have added a caveat.
I make at home and tend not to follow everything to the T when it comes to which hot dog/sausage to use.
I don't prefer Vienna Sausages. I like Hebrew National or Nathan's. Better texture, better snap.
Are those chili dogs more sauce or more meat? I like both. Some places have better meaty chili, some better saucy chili. And cheese amd onions are a must!
Regarding, Italian Beef...100%. They are delicious.

Made chili yesterday, and I'm curious how everyone makes theirs...
I get two large spicy v8s, two pounds of hamburger, one pound of beef tips, one large can of kidney beans, two smaller cans of chili beans and black beans, two small cans of green Chiles, three fresh jalapenos, two green peppers, one white onion and a packet of chili powder, chopped garlic, other spices...
What goes in your chili?

I'd say this is solid.
I'm surrounded by pagans that believe elbow macaroni are supposed to go in chili.
Nearly as important is what goes ON chili.
I'm a fan of (shredded at home) Cabot Habañero Cheddar, Sour Cream and Tabasco Chipotle.

The Steak n Shake that was in Willoughby was replaces by Canes... I thought Steak n Shake was overrated and I didn't care for the grease they brushed over the buns... I'd like to eat my burger without getting my fingers all mucky.. And as I said in the past... 5 guys is the absolute worst food I ever ate... I wouldnt feed that shit to a dog... Even Dogs deserve better...

Now this is a good topic for GAMEDAY food. I believe we have to specify that every so often to justify a recipe sharing thread in a football forum, lol.
I don’t necessarily have a stock chili recipe that l use every time l make it, but there are certain elements that l prefer in chili.
I like actual tomatoes, preferably big chunks of them, and San Marzano if l can find them. I usually try to get a large can of whole tomatoes and half ass chop them up in the can before l plop them in the mix.
I like a lean ground red meat from an animal that can outrun me, ideally buffalo or bison, and l like to half ass chop that up too so that there’s big chunks of it in there.
I generally prefer yellow onion over any other onion. I’m still trying to decide if there’s such a thing as “too much garlic”, so l throw a bunch of that in there too.
I do like kidney beans, they’re probably my preferred beans in chili.
I make my own chili powder! Years ago l stumbled on a vegetarian chili cook book that, surprisingly, doesn’t have a lot of great recipes, but it has a formula for making chili powder so l keep it around for that reason. I’ll photograph and attach the page in question, but feel free to branch out from there with different dried chilis. All you need is a spice grinder, rubber gloves, and a couple hours.

My gal is a Hoosier too and she puts spaghetti in her chili. I’m ok with it. A lot of stuff like that hearkens back to the day when folks were poor and tried to “stretch the meat.” Similar concepts with meatloaf and yes, Skyline chili 3 ways.
I’m a connoisseur of hot sauces and have yet to find a go-to for chili, oddly enough, so thanks for the tip on Tabasco chipotle.
I’m not a big sour cream on anything guy.

Made this last night for the big game. We invited Chuck Norris over for a round robin Connect 4 tournament. That mofo can win a game of Connect 4 in just 3 moves.

I mostly stuck to the recipe except l used some boar meat instead of pork belly. It turned out quite well.
Edit: oh, l read that you can make a broth out of the green parts of leeks, so l sorta did that and threw the leek broth in the mix. I’m not sure l could tell a difference but it was cool boiling leek water for an hour or so.
A super random question for you GAMEDAY cooks out there. I was a big fan of the recipe app Yummly, but it has gone the way of the dodo. Any of you got a recipe app you really like that l can peruse?

Dandelion Fritters
pick blossoms, no stems. Dip in egg screambled up, roll in favorite
seasoned flour, add parsely, or pepper, add salt, what you like....
and fry in olive oil, or whatever oil you use.
They are great. Very nutritional....Pick them when the sun is out, or they are closed up - and make sure they are organic - not sprayed etc.

That is interesting. I’ve eaten dandelion leaves before, they’re not bad if you like leafy greens. Had no idea you could eat the flower.
