Can anybody please tell me what I'm missing with "Cincinnati Chili"? I moved to the area several years ago I cannot understand the fascination with it. I've had chili a lot of different places around the country and the local version IMHO is one of the worst. It has less flavor and is not as spicy as most others and then there's the spaghetti in it. To me it actually tastes more like spaghetti (maybe that's why the noodles are in it)!
As a point of reference Skyline Chili opened a shop in Greenville South Carolina where I used to live and it ended up closing since no one liked the Chili.
I know various regions have their own adaptation on many dishes including chili (Texas chili only contains meat, no beans and of course no noodles) and I would like to understand what makes the local version so addictive to everyone.
