Cincinnati chili is a unique and beloved dish that originated in the 1920s when Macedonian immigrant Tom Kiradjieff opened a small chili parlor in Cincinnati, Ohio. This style of chili is characterized by its rich, spiced meat sauce served over spaghetti and topped with a variety of toppings, such as shredded cheese, onions, and beans. The dish has since become a staple in the region, with numerous chili parlors and restaurants serving their own variations of the recipe. Skyline Chili and Gold Star Chili are two of the most famous chains known for their Cincinnati chili. The secret to a great Cincinnati chili lies in the blend of spices, including cinnamon, allspice, and cocoa, which give the dish its distinctive flavor. Whether you're in Cincinnati or trying to recreate the dish at home, getting the spice blend just right is essential for an authentic taste.
