    Well, some people apparently like it, or they would have gone out of business long ago. First off, it sort of looks like someone took a crap on a plate.  😁   I like spaghetti, chili is ok. But put lousy chili on lousy noodles? Bad idea.  

    It's a local local thing... My wife is from Toledo, and Tony Paco's is revered there. I mean really- a chili dog? I wasn't all that impressed. I've come around to they're OK, but I sure wouldn't go out of my way to have one. BTW, if you're ever near Downtown Toledo, check out the original Paco's on Front Street. If nothing else, to peruse the autographed buns that decorate the walls. A who's who of politicians, athletes, and musicians. Jamie Farr (Klinger of MASH fame) gave them a national reputation.

    I will literally fight people in public to defend Skyline Chili. Publix down here in Florida starting carrying it and I think I personally am the reason it keeps getting put back on the shelf. Thin chili isn't high on the list for Cuban and Caribbean people as it turns out.

    Ah ha with all of the one side "seemingly"  not in your corner I just made you a democrat.

    I was and pretty much an old die hard democrat  -but-  will crossover on occasion.   It comes with getting older and wiser.

    I remember the first time I had it and thought it was absolutely delicious. The second time I had it, I thought it was absolutely disgusting. The difference was that I was shitfaced and it was the only place open at 1am when I had it the first time. You can put 3 pounds of shredded cheese on a turd and convince a shitfaced college student that it tastes good. Skyline is a disgrace, an affront to all that is good and decent, and worst of all, a black eye on the whole State of Ohio. The best food to come out of Cincinnati is Graeters.

    Yes.  Shitting on Skyline because their shit is shit.

    Nobody fights the guy who's mid-shit.. That's a different matter entirely!

    Skyline uses cheap meat that's borderline rancid.. thus it runs through very quickly.  For the same reason, I haven't been to McDonalds in nearly 20 years.  True, buying the day-old [or just low-grade] stuff from the wholesaler does make their raw materials cheaper.. but once you realize you can cook your own meat to taste better, cost less [by volume], and get done with cooking faster than a drive to the restaurant.. you avoid those places.  Most "fast food" is pretty similar.. 

    Sure, skyline's spices are somewhat decent -- but I recommend the black label reserve as a starter example of a spice mix that tastes better.  Next is of course to make one yourself, but that is a bit more time-consuming.  It is possible my spice tolerance is a bit higher.. i down 20 wings of the bw3 carolina reaper sauce without feeling anything..

    Buy meat in bulk on sale.. I just got 15 pounds of top sirloin steaks for $3.99/lb.. cheaper than what you'd pay for the equivalent amount of meat at Skyline -- and sirloin is miles better than whatever prison-grade "beef" they use at Skyline.

    Pro tip: Use the broil function of your stove to cook it medium-rare.  Heat the stove to broil with your broiling rack inside before adding the meat.  If it's the spices you like.. pat the steak dry and add a rub before putting it on the rack.

    Thank you! I dig it with the spaghetti, but yeah, it’s great on a chili dog and great over french fries too. 

    And since you mentioned Publix, imo Publix brand pancake mix is the best pancake mix. I buy a few boxes and smuggle that shit whenever l’m far enough south to be near a Publix.

    Regarding "Fast Food" most of it (McDonald's et al) wont kill you if you're in the mood for a quick burger- but those prices are getting damn disgusting, bordering on criminal- pushing $5 bucks for a Bic Mac or a Whopper.  Though one place that's appropriately named is Rally's.  Their burgers WILL rally right on through you.  

    If you got sirloin for $4 bucks a pound- good for you. Beef is my go to red meat, and the prices have jumped at least 30% of late...

    The thing I can't wrap my head around concerning Skyline is why their chili tastes like someone said:

    "You know what would be good? If our chili tasted like we also wanted it to taste like pumpkin pie... that would be a hit!"
