Yeah ... Put some of that stuff in your No Bean Chili ... Yee Ha!!

Grace prefers the no-bean chili too, because she just don't like beans. I can't do it. Chili without beans seems just a little sacrilegious to me. it would be like eating beanless "cowboy beans", or a meatless hamburger. To me, it just seems... wrong...

Here in northern Kentucky , they put spaghetti noodles in the chili. It's just wrong.

I was just gonna' say...'must be northern Kentucky'. 

Probably related to the whole 'Cincinnati Chili' thing.  I'll never forget; my wife and I got stuck on a lay-over at Cincinnati airport one time.  I saw a sign which said "Chili" and that sounded really good in that moment.  I went to order some and the gal asked me if I wanted a "2-way" or a "3-way".  I figured the wife probably wasn't too into that, but this gal's co-worker looked pretty hot and we had plenty of time so I thought, what the hell' and told her I wanted a "3-way".

As I started unbuttoning my shirt right there in the airport this gal plonks down a bowl of spaghetti with meat sauce and cheddar cheese on it on the counter  I immediately said..."COOL!!  This is gonna' be pretty hinky, huh???  Far out!!", as I started to undo my belt.  Then some old stick-in-the-mud behind me tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to the sign overhead.  That's when I saw the "2-way" and "3-way" explanations.  Bummer, no Raunch-goob Thunder-bunny for me today!  But there was a problem. ...

 Not only had I not ordered pasta Bolognese, I'd ordered Chili, but what's up with the Cheddar cheese on pasta anyway???  I was hungry, and I'd embarrassed myself enough already, so I just took my "3-way" whatever it was and went on my way.  I figured asking for Parmesan was probably pointless.  A moment later I took a bite of my pasta dish and almost spit it out when I immediately discovered they'd accidentally spilled Cinnamon in it.

To make a long story even longer; after a bit I discovered it's "supposed" to be like that.  I'd never heard of "Cincinnati Chili" before, but I'd just returned to the US from living for several years in SE Asia so I just figured maybe things had changed in America, and I wasn't "Hep" with all the cool cats anymore.  Heh, after eating a few bites I realized this pasta stuff was actually pretty damn good!  In fact, it was great!  Oh boy, was I gonna' have a story to tell my buddies when I got back to SE Asia, about my "3-way" and gettin' all 'Ultrakinkified' in the love-dungeon of Cincinnati Airport without havin' to do the Poop-Chute Boogy or gettin' into the Cleveland Meatspin jive.  What a liberating experience...and the food was pretty good too!

Sounds like the Skyline restaurant like the ones around here. Yeah, that funny taste of whatever they put in it. The chili dogs are ok.
