How do you like your chili?

[7Critter]

The original "Cincinnati chili" was Empress Chili, there are a few of them still around. I've tried a number of the homemade Cincy chili recipes, as you would expect some are better than others. One I tried was a dead ringer for Gold Star, probably the second most popular of the Cincinnati chili chains. None of the chains come close to producing a hot sauce to rival that of Skyline, it's the best hot sauce I've ever eaten.

Mrs Critter, a Cincinnati native prefers Gold Star; not as spicy she says. Me, I like 'em both. I have heard of Empress Chili; have not eaten it ( to my recollection ).
