WHY CHEESECONEY.COM?
Because we love Cincinnati Chili, in all its forms... And not just the chili and coneys and all that, but the very culture of Cincinnati Chili!
Think about what an interesting phenomenon it is:
People take this food very seriously.
It's not ok for a visitor to come to town and NOT try a 3-way, 4-way, 5-way, cheese coney, etc. if the people being visited here are the typical raving fans of the stuff. It's an initiation, a rite of passage, a CULTural ritual that calls for a taste test and a testimonial of love hate or indifference after the first or second taste.
That's why we're here:
To help document and celebrate the obsession and the reactions of all those who care to share their own unique stories, good, bad or curious.
Think of it as a FaceBook for Cincinnati Chili... by the way, um, you got a little on your face there, right now... Was that a new shirt?

Coney Bowls... different presentations, same awesomeness
Yum... Just got back from a late lunch at the Skyline on Plainfield Road, by the intersection of Plainfield and Hunt.
Their coney bowl is served up in a small bowl with 3 dogs, onions & mustard (if you want), chili and about a pound of shredded cheese!
I sometimes have lunch at another local Skyline, the one on Cornell Road, just east of Reed Hartman.
They serve a coney bowl in a shallower, wider serving bowl, which seems to allow for more chili. I like that one… Continue
