    As an Aussie who was in the US for 6 years working in golf and travelling the US, I would always check-out to see if a Skyline Chili restaurant was in the town. I would start off with a cup of chili beans then follow with the 4-ways onion every night for the week I was there. I always needed to add chili sauce to spice it up. Normally after 3 nights of eating there, I would not have to order as the staff knew what I wanted. Sadly, we don't have any Skyline Chili restaurants Down Under that I'm aware of. I shall give your recipe a go.

    Chili wears a lot of hats in different regions. This is just another great chili. Quick question, why chicken stock and not beef stock? Thanks for the great videos! Keep up the good work!

    I have had Cincinnati Chili in Cincinnati 3 different times over the last 10 years and all I can say is ….NO!!! Hands down THE worst tasting chili ever! Sorry, but cinnamon and clove do NOT belong in chili EVER!

    Texan here too, but also lived in Dayton Ohio for years, and ate a lot of Skyline's. Like they say there, the 1st time you try it, you hate it. The 2nd time, it's ok. The 3rd time, you're addicted. But, it really is more Greek Spaghetti sauce than Chili
