Great topic, Michael!
With so many from which to choose, it really is tough to pick a favorite.
Looking forward to what others have to say in this forum - especially those who've done a CONEY CRAWL and decided, via a fresh taste test, just which r…

- If you answered OTHER to how you found us (or even if you didn't), please tell us more about your amazing journey here:
- Ummm... I built it, or maybe I dreamed it, but ya'll are here, so let's go have a coney.
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

The Washington Post on Cincinnati Chili
Travel writer writer Ben Chapman visited Cincinnati this month to write a story about our CULTural favorite food for the Washington Post.(photo by Ben Chapman)
You know, with a ratio of about one chili parlor for every 1,000 area residents, it's safe to say that this chili really is in our DNA... Ben Chapman writes a fine tale of his cincy chili weekend, star… Continue

- Even though I am stuck out here....I somehow make it back home to Cincy at least once a year and "pig out" @ Skyline or Gold Star......One time I drove straight thru from Palm Springs non-stop (except for gas and pit stops) to Indianapolis just to get some coneys from the Skyline....the mgr. didn't know what to think when I ordered 10 cheese coneys while sitting at the counter.....he asked if they were "to-go" or if I had someone with me.....I replied no, I will eat them right here......I'm making up for lost time!...LOL
THE CINCY CHILI RITUAL
...A friend, relative or business associate comes to town and "What? You've never tried Cincinnati Chili?"
And in 10 minutes you're seated in a place that looks and feels like an old fashioned diner, observing his or her FIRST TIME...

This is so cool. I am guessing you didn't win because we didn't hear all about it but you know, you got some fantastic sounding eats so I think you still came out ahead!
