Cincinnati Chili

A genre of chili local to Cincinnati, Ohio and its suburbs in Newport and Covington, Kentucky. Developed by Greek immigrants in the early 1920s, it is a variation of a Greek meat stew. It generally includes some ingredients unusual to chili such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cocoa and a touch of vinegar. The first Cincinnati Chili was Empress, which is still a small but vital chain but the most popular/widespread chains are Skyline and Gold Star. Dixie Chili is based in Newport, Kentucky. The chili is served two-way, three-way, four-way and five-way with the addition of spaghettti, cheese, onions and beans and oyster crackers and hot sauce are expected gratuitious condiments on the table or by request. Frozen, canned and kits in spice packs are sold at Kroger and other Upper South grocery emporiums.

This genre of chili is rightfully more of a spaghetti topping or sauce than it is a traditional chili and has an addictive quality. It's also a popular late-nite after-bar food in the area along with White Castle hamburgers.

I live in Dayton (Ohio) where we can only get Skyline and Gold Star Cincinnati Chili in the restaurants so we took a road trip to Newport, Kentucky to sample some Dixie Chili and back through Cincy for some Empress Chili. Then I found out that you can get canned Dixie chili and frozen Empress at Kroger back home.

Cincinnati sightseeing

An activity in Cincinnati, practiced by locals, that involves slowing down or stopping when passing working firemen, policemen, paramedics, or other rescue personnel in the hopes of seeing what's going on and/or being entertained.

"We hung out by that house fire for like forty five minutes and we finally saw them carry a lady out of the second story. It was a great night for Cincinnati sightseeing."

cincinnati air freshener

A fart left in an empty elevator for future occupants to experience.

Some smart-ass left a Cincinnati air freshener in the elevator at work this morning. 38 floors I had to go up with that stench.

Chinchilli Day

Chinchilli Day celebrates the victory of the tiny pueblo town of Topiticca over the uprising of their pet chinchillas. Although many attempts were made to negotiate a ceasefire, the fighting continued over three long days until the last of the chinchillas was gone. To this day the town’s victory is celebrated by the descendants of Topiticca and all chinchilla haters.

Note: Because little is known of the actual dates of the conflict, there are those who believe the town of Topiticca never existed and Chinchilli Day is actually an elaborate excuse to spend an extra day partying in Las Vegas.

I can't come to work Monday because I will be in Vegas celebrating Chinchilli Day
