They have a lot of stores but I have never been to one. I wish there was good pizza around here.

Cincinnati seems to take everything and make it suck. The pizza sauce around here (Larosas) is crap, too much sugar. And then they take spaghetti sauce, add cinnamon and call it chili (this confuses me), and Frisch's Big Boy is nasty crap (unless you want an all you can eat bacon and sausage breakfast bar)...

You should go Tuber. They claim to be the first who invented pizza delivery.

Yes, do try it! I discovered Fox's when I was just a kid on my way to summer camp in Pennsylvania. They're having a tough time breaking into Maryland, unfortunately, since their franchisees keep picking atrocious locations that close down due to lack of customers, but the food's good.

The pizza is pretty good IIRC, but usually on the rare occasions I can get Fox's I get a "wedgie," their odd name for a sandwich made on pizza crust instead of bread. They cut a standard round crust in half, put the toppings on one half, flip the other half over it and toast it in the oven a while. My favorite is the BLT wedgie, but roast beef and Italian are also good.

Cinnamon in the Chili, but it's not really chili because there's no beans or chilis... thus, it tomato sauce

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_chili

Cincinnati chili sauce contains finely ground beef, seasoned with a mixture of spices. Vegetarians have the option of substituting beans and rice for meat. Some aficionados report a distinct hint of cinnamon and sometimes even chocolate. However, the precise identity of other spices is hard to determine. The flavor of Cincinnati chili is distinct from that of the more widely recognized Texas-style chili, and differs from that variety too in its thin consistency, which makes it more suitable as a sauce for other dishes than as a dish by itself. This distinctiveness makes the chili a greatly missed delicacy among many former Cincinnati-area residents.

When served over spaghetti, the chili is typically topped by a large mountain of shredded mild cheddar cheese (as much as will fit on top without it falling over the sides). Because of the large amount of cheese piled on top, the first few bites often consist entirely of cheese, at least for inexperienced diners. The serving method is based on (and is ordered in restaurants by) a traditional code. A "one-way" would be a bowl of chili only, but it is almost never ordered this way. A "two-way" is spaghetti topped with chili only. More typically, the chili is ordered as a "three-way" (noodles, sauce, and cheese only), "four-way" (with added red kidney beans or chopped raw white onions), or "five-way" (with added beans and onions). "Inverted" is the request to place the cheese under the chili so it melts.[citation needed] "Wet" is the request for extra chili over the spaghetti. Dixie Chili offers a unique "six-way" with all of the above ingredients, plus chopped garlic. Blue Ash Chili also offers a "six-way;" the sixth ingredient in their six-way is jalapeno 'bottlecaps'.
For me its not so much hate as an oddity to my previous experiences


I love cinnamon on toast,strudel,apple pie and many associated treats but for chili, just would seem to take away from the desired taste, but thats a small opinion

Well, sound interesting........maybe one day

I hate cinnamon. Americans put it in too many foods. Its like the Swedes with fennel, that used to drive me crazy too.

Cinnamon in chili? Sound silly, but when you loud up with onions, mustard, and cheese, it's awesome! To be fair, Cincinnati chili is a condiment, not a meal. It goes on top hot dogs and spaghetti. And it's good. Real good. Too my surprise, there's a Skyline chili place down here in Fort Liquordale.
