I've never had Skyline chili, or chili on pasta or whatever, but it doesn't seem significantly different from any other non-notable meat sauce on pasta dishes. Is the hatred for it simply due to it having chili in its name? Because you bring up the word "chili" and strong opinions inevitably arise?

What constitutes chili in ohio isn't a debate like it is in Texas. It is just watery cinnamon crap with terrible cheese and optional onion or beans.

It's just bad food. You can get much better implementations around Detroit if you look for coney shops.

Except this is not true. Skyline is Skyline. If you generically talk about chili in Ohio people are thinking of stuff with beans and ground beef.

I'm not defending the weird ground beef poo poo, just saying that Skyline is a specific thing and no one in Ohio thinks of it as chili. The inability to get past that word is an internet thing from people who haven't been to Ohio.

I am from Skyline country, yes. I have never encountered someone here who meant Skyline when they said chili. The stuff at Wendy's is what would be considered generic chili, Skyline is Skyline.

Sorry about being from Toledo, you have my sympathy.

I dunno why it annoys me. There are so many good, real reasons to poo poo on Ohio, why make stuff up?

I did make a Greek person angry once when I had real pastitsio for the first time and said oh wow it really is just Skyline. Wasn't joking either, it is. I don't think people who aren't from southwest Ohio realize how Greek this area is.

What I need to do is learn to find it funny that random people get so angry about a food they've never had and know nothing about.

#2 isn't ALWAYS bad...

For some abominable reason, Skyline is an Ohio thing that has for many, many years had a Fort Lauderdale, FL location. It’s loving awful food, but before Covid and a closure/location change, it was open 24hrs.

Skyline chili is still nasty, but is vastly more palatable at 4am and you don’t know the names of any of the people you got there with.

It’s pastitso with beans and the wrong pasta and cheese. Still good.

It doesn't have beans though.

Which in my book disqualifies it for a True Chili but that's dumb pedant poo poo, it's plenty good food and that's what matters.

You guys aren't going to believe this, but that guy is our games teacher.
In the latest video from emmymade she was sponsored by a company that sells Wagyu beef and decided to use it in a casserole hotdish:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POJYlts2W1o

Like, drat, the whole point of a hotdish is to take cheap ingredients and combine them into a homogenous sludge (usually bound in some form of Campbell's condensed soup) so you don't really taste any of the individual components. You don't use good beef in one. :psyduck:

I laughed when I saw that one. I already feel like ground Wagyu kind of spoils it even cooked as a burg, it feels like steak cooked with fat marbled through it rather than drained out is the main point of it.

That pic's from rural Illinois, where I would be shocked if anyone knew a swede was a vegetable.

The menu has "ham steak... with pineapple ring" and my guess is they stopped buying pineapple rings, but the fruit salad has pineapple in it, so :shrug:

The only place a pineapple ring belongs is atop a neat ice cream scoop of cottage cheese, damnit.

Wait, that's what rutabagas are?! Literally 99% of my knowledge of them comes from them being a running gag on the early 90s Swedish Chef breakfast cereal and only later realizing they were a real thing. Now I wonder if the alternate name was the inspiration for the joke :tinfoil:

e: on further thought, I sorta feel like I've had this revelation before, but probably forgot it due to being drunk at the time or something
