I don't get it.

It was a lot of fun. Our hotel was over looking the river where they dyed it, so that was great. House of Blues at 9:30am, the rest is history.

Spent $150 on 11 Irish Carbombs to end the night. That's my only regret.

$14 per car bomb? Good lord.

I hope you're joking. But maybe you just haven't met any opinionated people from Chicago (all of them).

Mustard goes on hot dogs; ketchup does not.

Surely there are those that remember when I stated Chicago pizza was better than New York pizza and everyone from Chicago, who basically agreed with me, still jumped all over me for not knowing what 'real' pizza was... not sure I had a more strange debate on this site...

Chicago has lots of different kinds of pizza. Wait, I don't want to get into this again. I'm too hungry for that.

But I remember.

Which is a ridiculous proposition. The only debate about Skyline chili is whether it's Mega-Awesome or Super-Awesome.

First of all, I thought that we concluded that NY style was indeed the finer brand of our beloved 'Za. Especially when your vote got thrown out for your lack of baseline knowledge on the subject...

and that it isn't Greek food. ;)

Not surprised that the guy who was impressed with North Dining Hall also likes Skyline. You should try Spaghettio-s, it's quality Italian!

I WAS 14 YEARS OLD.



(Aren't you a Cincy guy? And you don't like Skyline?)
(I still eat Spaghetti-O's with Meatballs on occasion when I'm feeling extra immature.)

I'm a transplant. Gold Star is where it's at bro. You just gotta get past the jank-ass decor.

Skyline Chilli tastes like cinnamon in a can of tomato paste. I wouldn't feed it to Chipper.

For some reason, that picture is loading slower than the nudie pics your mom sends me with her AOL account.

Maybe you should upgrade from dial up then?

And that's not my mom, she uses hotmail. Beau's mom uses AOL.

Alright, let's settle this in the parking lot.

But seriously, Gold Star will do in a pinch. There are three or four places I'd go BEFORE Gold Star, but it's Cincinnati chili, it's all good.

1. Skyline
2. Empress
3. Price Hill Chili
4. Dixie Chili (Newport)
5. Gourmet Chili (Newport)
6. Gold Star

I avoid the Price Hill area out of principle.

Principle of safety, or other principles?

I only risk venturing into the area for Sunday brunch with the family at Price Hill Chili every few months, but it's not really brunch because I end up just ordering cheese coneys.

Wooly I thought you were arguing for Chicago thin crust, not NY style?
