(Cincinnati chili is just this, the Greek dude who started selling it called it "chili" because he's Greek and it was the 20s or whatever)

I've never had Cincinnati chili but there's an Egyptian place near me that does a fantastic Pastitsio. It's seriously loving delicious and the portion they give you is 2 meals worth for super cheap. I've eaten it cold the next day it's that good.

It it really the same sort of spices in the meat? Because if it is then I don't understand why the hell Cincinnati chili isn't more popular. Pastitsio is good as hell.

It's not exactly the same but it's close. I haven't been to Greece, but I've had pastitsio at a couple Greek restaurants and it was very familiar.

I don't know why goons are so caught up in the word chili itself and can't comprehend the idea of a meat sauce on pasta, but whatever. Skyline coney dogs are superior to the pasta version anyway.

sadly unfunny

there's also the thing where they bury it in a mountain of cheddar cheese. is that part of the usual greek preparation?

EDIT: vvv yeah, see, I think I'd like it fine without the mountain of shredded cheese

No, the Greek version doesn't usually have cheese. Never said the guy didn't alter it, but if you eat both they're clearly the same thing. American pizza isn't much like what you get in Italy but it's still pizza.

I think it's something about protecting cultural identity, because it's one of those dishes that people will have specific cultural context involving their family or their community, and if you feel a cultural ownership over a food, or feel like you know the culture that has cultural ownership over the food very well, you'll get very angry after the people who are doing it wrong.

And it all comes out weird because Americans aren't used to thinking that we even have a culture in the first place because we don't often end up defining ourselves in contrast to other cultures.

Italy has the AVPN, though, so the Americans win at having the original, correct pizza by default.

Sonic calls its chili cheese dogs "coneys" in a weird attempt to capitalize on Skyline's attempt to capitalize on Coney Island's corner on the hot dog market in the 1900s

They aren't nearly the same thing but I just love the hot dog narrative this poo poo is perpetuating

(Sonic also makes the most authentic chain Chicago dogs outside actual Portillo's)

Yep. Not bad for fast food. The only issue is the dog itself really and its acceptably close enough.

Yes. Cincinnati chili is a greek tomato & meat sauce. Coney dogs are named for Coney Islands, a type of greek diner throughout the midwest that would sell hotdogs with tomato & meat sauce. Among other things these caused hot dogs to be called coneys in the midwest.

E: ^^ I was missing the Coney Islands diner connection in the narrative, that just enriches the story like a fine meat sauce

I don't really see how a greek sauce a greek restaurant makes, given the entire menu. By that logic roughly 80% of Texas-based restaurants are tex-mex/barbecue hybrid joints.

Well why wouldn't they be tex-mex or barbecue if they serve tex-mex or barbecue.

This wouldn't even be a debate if there wasn't the Greeklish mix up that meat sauce is called chili in American. Name a more American-Mediterranean fusion type of food than pasta with tomato sauce.

Coney Island the hot-dog chain was inspired by the kosher hot dogs served at Coney Island in New York. So you have a midwestern Greek/Albanian thing inspired by a New York Polish Jewish thing and a Mexican thing, scooped up by an Oklahoma drive-in thing that went national, which originally made its bones on root beer, a Native beverage adapted by English settlers.

Just FYI I haven't seen Chicago dogs at Sonic this year. I also don't see them on the menu on their website. However, you aren't missing much since the dog quality at sonic is not great. You can make your own at home; the only hard to get ingredient is the sport peppers which I've seen at World Market or on Amazon.
