Cincinnati chili has one of the biggest disconnects between looks and taste in food. It looks like absolute trash. It's a meal you would assume a hobo made from random dumpster dives. Sometimes they show a big plate of it during a national sports broadcast that's in Cincinnati, and I've seen people leave the room because it literally makes them nauseous. But damn if it isn't shockingly tasty, filling, and satisfying. Something about the cinnamon and beans, plus spaghetti underneath just clicks, and it's rare to find someone who generally doesn't like it when they give it a chance. It's a weird food.

Funny I had n eee ver heard of this. But I thought to myself that’s a really good idea. (I like chili, I like spaghetti, so why not.) but I’m like damn that picture makes it look awful.

I would 100% eat this without beans.

Before anyone decides to come at me, I am autistic and the texture of most beans make me want to puke.

When you hear jokes about Italians getting angry at non-traditional pizzas, in reality it's about certain Americans and chili.

They'll literally beat eachother up if there's beans, no beans, this spice, not that spice, etc. While Italians don't give a fuck about peoples pizza, as long as they don't try to call it authentic Italian when it's not.

Thankfully it says cheese is not included.

I can just use a regular amount if I make it. I wonder how different types of cheese will taste on it.

Parmesan would be interesting. Blue cheese would be horrid but I wanna try that too.

Like enough for one bite so the rest isn't ruined.

As a native, I can confirm that when you order a three-way (no I'm not kidding, that's actually what they're called) they will absolutely murder it with shredded cheese. Sometimes it's piled up like 3-4 inches high. They do the same with the coneys too but you can only really stack like 2 inches of cheese on a hot dog bun.
