The World in Chili

Cincinnati Chili

One of the most unique regional dishes in the United States in Cincinnati chili and everything from its creation to the proper way to eat it is strictly regimented. Cincinnati chili actually came from Greek immigrants via New York City — it’s similar to the Coney-sauce that was served on hot-dogs on Coney Island in the early 20^th century. Ground beef is the meat of choice in this chili, and also spiced with chili peppers, but features a few unique spices like paprika and allspice that hint at its Mediterranean origins.

If you’re in Cincinnati, it can be ordered five different ways. If you order a bowl, you’ll get a straight-up bowl of chili with no additions. Two-way is chili served over spaghetti. Three-way and four-way add cheese, and cheese and onions respectively. The five-way, which is considered the ultimate indulgence, is a pile of spaghetti on an oval plate, topped with a healthy serving of chili, cheese, onions, and beans. Some people even add oyster crackers on top.
