Cincinnati chili

Cincinnati chili is a Mediterranean-spiced meat sauce used as a topping for spaghetti or hot dogs ("coneys"); both dishes were developed by the immigrant Greek community in the Cincinnati area in the 1920s. It is commonly served in most chili parlors, though it is also used in some other types of restaurants in the Cincinnati area.

History

Cincinnati chili originated with immigrant restaurateurs from the Macedonia region who were trying to expand their customer base by moving beyond narrowly ethnic styles of cuisine. Tom and John Kiradjieff, who created Skyline Chili, one of the most famous Cincinnati chili parlors, began serving this style of chili in 1949.

Ingredients and preparation

The unique flavor of Cincinnati chili comes from its blend of spices that includes sweet spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice or chocolate. It is commonly served over spaghetti or hot dogs, with oyster crackers on the side. The chili is used as a topping and is traditionally served in a specific way, known as "ways."
