Chili HouseHi coney lovers! I came across an amazing bit of information today. Did you know that you can get a 3 Way chili, Cincy style, at multiple locations in Jordan?!! You can. Chili House in Amman and elsewhere serves our treat daily. In the 1960's, the Daoud family wanted to own the largest chili chain on the planet! The Jordanian family moved to the U.S. and started Gold Star Chili in 1965! In 1980, one of the brothers moved back and started Rio Cafe. Next in 1985, the original 8th Circle Chili House location opened. It was the only place in Jordan where you could get American style hamburgers and french fries. It was also most definitely the only place to serve chili and cheese coneys! By the 1990's, they were up to 8 locations in Amman, Irbid and Aqaba. They owe their success to their regulars; they are the loyal customers who frequent their establishments. This family owned and operated business always uses fresh ingredients-never frozen. Since, the 1990's Chili House has been on a mission to serve healthy food in addition to their already stellar menu. They have begun to serve veggie burgers and now have chicken and rice combos! They started with their "Spice It Up" campaign in 2005!
I guess the lesson here is that no matter where you are in the world: 1. There is a market for Cincinnati chili! 2. Good service and fresh ingredients equal success! 3. Regular visitors to restaurants are extremely beneficial in spreading the chili spirit!
Contact Chili House for more information on this awesome place!
