Is one of the final stages of addiction to Skyline, “Watching videos about Skyline on RUclips because you don’t live within driving distance of anyplace you can get Skyline (not even a grocery store that carries the canned or frozen stuff), and yet you still need your Skyline fix”? Asking for a friend.
You know, I watched this with a lot of interest, as my experience was similar, but had a key difference. I came to Cincy for college; had no clue what was up with all the chili places - walked into a Goldstar thinking "I like chili" and being confused by the menu, and disgusted at the meal. I was so put off that I didn't touch the stuff for a year, but one night got absolutely hammered, and one of my friends came back with a box of cheese coneys. I was just stupid drunk and wanted something in my belly. Tasting that cheese coney - it was like the skies parted and I was bathed in a beam of light. "Do you SEE THE LIGHT?!?!" YES!!! I understand now!!
Oh, I forgot to say that although Skyline dip was not MY gateway to full blown addiction, I think your point is fascinating. Looking back, in college we didn't really have the kind of party where you'd find Skyline dip. In fact, although I have had it many times in my adult life, I can't remember the first time I saw it, but almost certainly after college. I live in NC now and have to make do with the cans. I can still feel the steam hitting my face walking in to the Ludlow Skyline on a cold night, that aroma!! Oh, I miss it.
I totally skipped the first 4 stages. I think I initially tried a coney at the ballpark. Once I went to a restaurant and found out they had spaghetti, it was absolutely game on!
Having lived in Middletown Ohio from 1990 until my husband passing in January 2020 this made me homesick for some Cincinatti style chili. So i got a recipe for Skyline Chili that im going to make for some friends that never heard of it and doing the dip for a party i will be attending in June . I also miss Donatos Pizza one of the best pizzas around ! Being a born and bred Texas girl i have to say i love both the Cincinatti style chili and of course my bowl of good ole Texas Red (no beans either) Both can make you go look for a open cafe and get you a plate/ bowl of one drpending on city you live in sit down and LOOK OUT BELLY! 💘
Thanks for your video of chili obsession. Dare I ask if there are any chili parlors you prefer over Skyline? I've seen several blogs of chili-heads doing a grand tour of chili parlors in the Cincinnati area -- and Skyline isn't in the top five of most of their results. At some point I hope to do a mini chili parlor tour including Price Hill, Chili Time, Camp Washington, Pleasant Ridge and Blue Ash -- as I'm fortunate enough to have a Skyline fairly nearby and have tried Gold Star and Dixie. I just wish Skyline's coneys were made with grilled Hebrew National hot dogs in a grilled New England split top (lobster roll) bun.
I haven’t eaten at a Skyline restaurant but I’ve had Skyline chili in a can. Making Cincinnati chili from scratch is better than the can stuff, it’s not too difficult to make.
I made it as far as Newport, visiting the area and heard these chili stories. I bought a seasoning pack at the airport and I will try it someday... I promise...maybe
I am from New England, but I spent 6 weeks on business in northern Kentucky. I had a colleague take me to Skyline Chili and I was instantly hooked. Best chili on earth!
My first exposure to skyline was when I was a little kid and we would take trips to Kings Island. There was something so novel about those tiny hot dogs. I think I would eat six of them at a time. I’ve been a fan ever since. I would like to try some of the lesser known chili parlors in Cincy some day.
Everyone always talks about the cheese coneys and 3-ways, but nobody ever talks about how good the chili cheese fries are (Goldstar has better fries tho)
I live in Florida. I made a copy cat recipe for Skyline chili a couple weeks ago, complete with chocolate and cinnamon and I LOVED it! I served over rice because I didn’t know better. Immediate addiction. Will be making it again soon.
I agree with the whole video, I am from Harrison Ohio around 10 minutes from cincy. I have a skyline 2 miles from my house and my whole entire family is in love with it
This needs to be the Skyline Chili commercial for every state outside of Ohio. Forwarding to my friends who just received some Christmas chili yesterday!
I always stop by one of the Louisville Skyline locations when I travel to Cincinnati from Nashville. It serves as a great halfway point between the cities, and I get to taste home on my way. Eating the canned stuff just isn't the same.
Love it lol I’ve always loved it. It just comes within. And sometimes it takes having it and being away from it that brings you back and appreciate it. Uniqueness
Part of Step 4 can be peer pressure and wanting to be a part of the rest of your lunch group, and they want Skyline. Trust me, been there done that and your video made me want some badly!!! Normal order: small 3 way and one or two cheese coneys depending on level of hunger. Since I have been retired, I also even occasionally go thru the drive thru and get three cheese coneys with everything, lite onions, with crackers, and bring them home to eat
Favorite Video yet! Can’t wait to move back to Cincinnati for Skyline. It’s just not the same finding it here in a can in Florida! Thanks for the laughs! Every stage was true 🤣
God damn! I'm craving a coney now. I have spaghetti, hotdogs shredded cheddar cheese, canned Skyline but it's not the same! I need the real thing! Plus, the hot sauce is unlike any other.
Make hot sauce bombs! Poke a hole in the top of an oyster cracker with your fork and then drip the hot sauce into the cracker's hollow interior. Pop that into your mouth or make a bunch and put on your chili.
Now, there is a secret ingredient that gives it an extra sweetness. Some say cinnamon, while thers say nutmeg. For me personally, I think it's nutmeg. Because cinnamon isn't sweet by itself unless mixed with sugar (Just ask people who did the cinnamon challenge on a dare.), while nutmeg actually is, and I could see it going well with chili.
Do, your research, seriously, there’s a bit of chopped onion in the chili, 2 tablespoons and, there’s a Tbs of White Vinegar and, for so, many single servings between 4 to 5 on average, there’s a 8oz Hershey’s Chocolate 🍫 Bar, other chili places use cocoa powder! There’s also beef broth in in it with Worcestershire Sauce, I use chicken broth instead it really doesn’t alter the taste!
I disliked Skyline for most of my 61 years. About a year ago I wanted something other than another hamburger and tried it again. Now I can't seem to get enough of it and I go there at least 3 times a week.
Lollzzz, great video and I'm almost sold, again. But, I'm sorry, I tried it, and I really tried to find the love but I just couldn't. I hate spaghetti pasta even in spaghetti, it's too thick and tasteless. And the chili, smh... I love cheese, but not when it's cold and unmelty. So, sorry. This is about as "Imma scare something up for dinner" as it gets. Your video was outstanding marketing, tho. 👍
I am a Cincinnati native been here 44yrs and skyline was my job straight out of high school for 2yrs the 7th street location I love SKYLINE from beans and rice to a heavy onion 3way, secretly the chilito is my fav and now some locations have funnel cake fries and thee best cheesecake (it’s really the Cheesecake Factory brand) overall it’s forever BUSSIN as the new generation would say😜😜😜😜 oh hot sauce just makes it known your eating skyline hot sauce 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 PERFECTO
Skyline is good, but they need to kick up the spice a little. My mother kicks up the spice and it is delicious. Also "Chili's John's" from Green Bay is amazing.
Bought a can…jmo but this stuff is so thin a hotdog bun won’t hold it…it’s like water…taste?…personally do t care For it but that is very subjective…beyond thin…a waste of my $4.99.
I just tried it tiday for the first time…. Pretty disappointing…. it’s literally just a bunch of ingredients you buy at meijer and throw them together…. No clue why people are obsessed with something so unremarkably average
I think is the best thing you can eat. I drive 3 hours from my house to the one in Ft. Meyers and drive back home 3 hours just to go have it. He is right you do not like it the first time or two.

I’m watching this while eating skyline (pouches from Amazon) chili spaghetti and I’ve never set foot in Ohio. Skyline chili is my favorite 😋

The hot sauce is a absolute game changer
You described this PERFECTLY!!!
🎶 It’s Skyline Timeeeeeeee 🎶
It’s NOT a cult, it’s just a lifestyle.
Love skyline. I grew up on skyline chili. Nothing beats getting it from the actual restaurant. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Anytime I'm within 200 miles of Cincinnati I stop by to Skyline.
Here me out… it taste like Christmas
You can skip steps 1-3 if introduced correctly on your way home after a fun night on the town!
🤣

Depending not drpending!
Cincinnati "chili" is basically a troll (because it is actually a sauce) - and I love it for that.

It was love at first bite for me, and I still love it to this day.
I haven’t eaten at a Skyline restaurant but I’ve had Skyline chili in a can. Making Cincinnati chili from scratch is better than the can stuff, it’s not too difficult to make.
I want some Skyline Dip NOW.

I was hooked first time I tried it passing through on vacation from Wisconsin.
One of us. One of us.
Everyone always talks about the cheese coneys and 3-ways, but nobody ever talks about how good the chili cheese fries are (Goldstar has better fries tho)
Now im craving skyline so bad.
It’s Skyline time!
I live in Florida. I made a copy cat recipe for Skyline chili a couple weeks ago, complete with chocolate and cinnamon and I LOVED it! I served over rice because I didn’t know better. Immediate addiction. Will be making it again soon.
Ironically, they've started selling a Skyline Chili Burrito. It's pretty good, and a lot easier to eat while driving.
My first waitressing job was at skyline chili in Amelia Ohio. Best job ever.
I agree with the whole video, I am from Harrison Ohio around 10 minutes from cincy. I have a skyline 2 miles from my house and my whole entire family is in love with it
I’ve lived all around cincy, and I honestly never get tired of it.
My husband is stage 2 but I’m stage 5. It’s a problem. 😆
This needs to be the Skyline Chili commercial for every state outside of Ohio. Forwarding to my friends who just received some Christmas chili yesterday!
🙏
I always stop by one of the Louisville Skyline locations when I travel to Cincinnati from Nashville. It serves as a great halfway point between the cities, and I get to taste home on my way.
Eating the canned stuff just isn't the same.
Is the final stage of addiction learning to speak like Taz from Looney Tunes?
🤔
Love it lol
I’ve always loved it. It just comes within.

Every stage was true 🤣
Living out of town and buying cans is definitely another stage. 🙂
There is one in Ft. Lauderdale Naples. and Ft. Meyers.
Also, if you want a cheese coney without the hotdog, they're commonly known as Chili Cheese Sandwiches or Phony Coneys
6:18 absolutely amazing
God damn! I'm craving a coney now. I have spaghetti, hotdogs shredded cheddar cheese, canned Skyline but it's not the same!
I need the real thing! Plus, the hot sauce is unlike any other.
💯💯💯
A normal person would skip the first 4 stages.
🤣
Make hot sauce bombs! Poke a hole in the top of an oyster cracker with your fork and then drip the hot sauce into the cracker's hollow interior. Pop that into your mouth or make a bunch and put on your chili.
Yep. Came to the Cincy area at 18. Started of: ew. Then: it's just okay. Then: man, I would like some Skyline. Now: cravings control me.
It’s real.
Now, there is a secret ingredient that gives it an extra sweetness. Some say cinnamon, while thers say nutmeg. For me personally, I think it's nutmeg.

Everything you said in this video is TRUE!
I started at stage 5, but Skylines onions are terrible, and don't spare the hot sauce.
Is the worst chili size chili sauce that I’ve ever bought?
Oh ... there are far worse
I disliked Skyline for most of my 61 years. About a year ago I wanted something other than another hamburger and tried it again. Now I can't seem to get enough of it and I go there at least 3 times a week.
The stages are true, even if they take 61 years.
Grew up on Skyline Chili. It's the best.
you're doing the Lord's work. it's skyline time.
Amen.
You are correct Sir!
Thanks!
It hijacks your brain 😂
Lollzzz, great video and I'm almost sold, again. But, I'm sorry, I tried it, and I really tried to find the love but I just couldn't.

Forgot to mention about how you've got to have a 6 pack of Hudepohl or 6-pack of Little Kings with that..........

Gold star is better
Blasphemy
Lol I wouldn’t say there is hype it’s more like infamy.
Skyline is good, but they need to kick up the spice a little. My mother kicks up the spice and it is delicious. Also "Chili's John's" from Green Bay is amazing.
The hot sauce on the oyster crackers is a must.
@@TeamSztanyo Oyster crackers are the best, especially after a night out on the town.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
...and tomato paste or tomato sauce.
Bought a can…jmo but this stuff is so thin a hotdog bun won’t hold it…it’s like water…taste?…personally do t care
For it but that is very subjective…beyond thin…a waste of my $4.99.
Stage 2 for sure.
Skyline Is Good. GOLD STAR IS BETTER!!!
🥶
Imo. Good Star has better chili. Skyline has better cheese.
Also, I only like the coneys. The spaghetti? Eh.
Tried it once. Couldn’t get a mouthful down. Why put cinnamon in tomato sauce?
Welcome to Stage 2.
I just tried it tiday for the first time…. Pretty disappointing…. it’s literally just a bunch of ingredients you buy at meijer and throw them together…. No clue why people are obsessed with something so unremarkably average
Yup. That’s step 1.
I bought this shit in the store $5.75 can it’s the worst days of shit you can ever eat
You're still in Stage 1-2
Wow.. the food really looks like thawed out barf 😅
It has that aesthetic .. yes.
Agreed. But it's freaking GUD.
Tried skyline chili last night.
I have never tasted a chili that was so nasty!!!
I wouldnt feed that rap to my dogs.
Literally man… I was so disappointed when I tried it today. My mom can’t even cook and she makes better chili
It’s all part of the process.
Too much talking
Not enough Skyline.
They opened one in the Cleveland area years ago we went to it and seen the spaghetti and walked out. They've since closed up.
It's addictive because its made with addictive chemicals and sugar, American slop cuisine at its finest!
We don’t claim it to be the healthiest of dishes.
This is the most disgusting food on Earth.
I’m convinced you aren’t human
I think is the best thing you can eat. I drive 3 hours from my house to the one in Ft. Meyers and drive back home 3 hours just to go have it. He is right you do not like it the first time or two.
It's actually delicious. First time I had it, I was already in love with it.
Most? People eat animals feet, penises, tongues, stomach lining, stomach bile, bugs, snakes.
one of the worst dishes ever conceived
Nah
More like the best dish ever!
