The Best Cincinnati Chili in Cincinnati | Bon Appétit

"A preserved diner with green vinyl booths and a long Formica counter, this longtime neighborhood spot serves a chili made from medium-ground beef in a looser sauce with a notable brown-sugar sweetness that gives the meat a chestnut sheen under bright cheddar. The affordable, nostalgic menu—kept in operation by a continuing family legacy—includes Cincinnati-specific options like an omelet topped with chili and cheese (the 'Northsider') and build-ups to multi-addition 'ways,' making it a dependable pre-show or late-night fueling stop." - ByDaniel Walton
