Well I didn't think it could get worse than the original skyline chili. I was wrong.

This better come with a free roll of toilet paper, pepto bismol and some air fresheners

Look, I love me some "Cincinnati Chili" - but that is too much, even for me.

FWIW - "Cincinnati Chili" really isn't "chili" it's a Greek Meat Sauce as it was created by Greek Immigrants who had settled in the Cincinnati area - which is why it looks nothing like real chili. I'm sure no one else really cares, but I think the perception of it being called Chili throws a lot of people not from Cincinnati off base.

Stop being a pussy!

I'm joking - That creation would put me down for 18-24 hours for sure.

Ironically - I just saw this was posted on a local news paper: USA Today did a reginal restaurant top 10 as voted on by people across the U.S.

Here are the 10 winners for best regional fast food:​

1. Skyline Chili (founded in Cincinnati, Ohio).
2. Biscuitville (founded in Burlington, North Carolina).
3. Dick's Drive-In (founded in Seattle, Washington).
4. Z-Burger (founded in Washington D.C.).
5. Lion's Choice (founded in St. Louis, Missouri).
6. Hattie B's Hot Chicken (founded in Nashville, Tennessee).
7. Taco Cabana (founded in San Antonio, Texas).
8. In-N-Out Burger (founded in Baldwin Park, California).
9. Whataburger (founded in Corpus Christi, Texas).
10. Schoop's Hamburgers (founded in Hammond, Indiana).

Too many burgers on this list for my liking. Don't get me wrong, I love a good burger. But, I find you can find a good burger almost everywhere you find yourself in this country. Just need to know where to look. In-N-Out is really good but I don't find it transformative. I think my expectations were too high because it is universally praised.

Very much agree. I’ve got lots of old drive in burger joints around me that aren’t franchised that cook up a far better burger than any of those. Or I just love making my own ground venison burger. Don’t really understand the hype with franchised fast food burgers.

I will say that In-N-Out is a cheaper option and in the current economy that is a big deal and why I think it’s more popular. Still not going to wait a half hour at their drive thru. Screw that noise
