CINCINNATI

There are only two sins in Cincinnati.  Listen closely and you can hear them in the name.

One might be managing/owning a Cincinnati professional sports franchise and the other is disparaging our Cincinnati-style chili.  All other sins will be forgiven.

Ponder this!

Our special style of chili was brought to us by a Greek immigrant named Lambrinides who founded Skyline Chili. Well, we have a new Greek place in our neighborhood called Greek Isles Restaurant and they don't even serve chili at all.

Skyline's main competition for Cincinnati-style chili is from a family of Jordanese immigrants names Dauod who operate Gold Star Chili.  We have a new Jordanian restaurant in our neighborhood named Taziki's Mediterranean Cafe.  They don't serve chili either - but they do have a Greek salad.  What's the deal?

So here's my question:  which came first?  chili in Cincinnati or Cincinnati chili?
