Skyline Chile
Skyline Chili - a name synonymous with the dish Cincinnati-style chilli was started by a Greek immigrant Nicholas Lambrinides and his sons in 1949 in Cincinnati. The place which started as a small restaurant on a hilltop giving an impressive view of the city has now over 150 branches across four states. Skyline's signature dishes include cheese coneys (a hot dog topped with Skyline Chili, mustard, onions, and cheese), and 3-ways (spaghetti topped with Skyline Chili and cheese); 4-ways (choice of beans or onions added), and 5-ways (beans and onions both added). The secret chilli is cooked and packed off from a central commissary to every location. They are reheated and served which makes the quality consistent all over. The restaurants may be considered somewhere between "fast food" and "casual dining." Diners may sit at a booth or table and be served by a waiter, or at many locations, sit at a counter near employees preparing the food.
