TELL US MORE! - My Cincinnati Chili Story (A short intro, first time, last time, rant, limerick, haiku or personal chili mission statement)

My oldest brother drove a cab in college in the late 60s / early 70s and I used to wake up to the smell of cheese coneys when he'd bring some home at 3 in the morning... it definitely got into my DNA...
I love Cincinnati Chili. It's a unique and historical part of Greater Cincinnati culture and cuisine. People here who love it make it a life ritual to introduce others to the taste. This is a good place to share those stories...

About Me:

I grew up on the West AND East sides of Cincinnati. First in Bridgetown and Western Hills, then out east in Williamsburg (Clermont County) at the age of 14. The first franchise restaurant in Afton (the little town I lived in outside the nearly as small Williamsburg) was a Gold Star, which comforted me and made it seem that Western Hills wasn't quite so far away any more... I worked for GE Aircraft Engines for years and years before leaving to co-found NetCrafters Interactive in 1995. CheeseConey.com is a project of Deeper Directories, NetCrafters and cincy.com
