Dude, your above definition of chili is actually the ingredients for a Taco Bell burrito supreme! Again, Cincinnati chile is NOT chili.

Oh and be prepared for when it snows, more than a couple inches of snow and the whole Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area shuts down for a couple days. The way the city handled the "blizzard" (9 inches of snow is not a blizzard) was pathetic.

Uh, everywhere south of I-80 in the Midwest is like that...

This is actually kind of funny...folks from there talk about how Cincy isn't a bad place to be, while the transplants by and large can't stand it. These are probably the same folks that proclaim the superior attributes of cities like Boston, NYC, SanFran, Chicago and LA while your average midwestern native could care less about either coast.

Some folks see traffic and expensiveness, where others see entertainment and activity. Some folks see lack of culture and too much conservativeness while others see good values by which to raise a family. I guess it all boils down to perspective...

Yup...I'm not "native" but I do really like CVG. It's all those things and more...but I'm not willing to move. I wouldn't trade if for the world at this point.

There is nothing wrong with putting chili on pasta. However, Cincinnati "chili" is not real chili. Chili is supposed to be more like a spicy stew, not a sweat soup.

Says who?? It is obviously recognized all over the country as a type of chili. Just because it's not YOUR style doesn't mean it isn't one style.....
