The Best Cincinnati Chili in Cincinnati | Bon Appétit
"Founded in 1922 by two immigrants from what is now northern Greece, this parlor originated the Cincinnati chili style by adapting a Macedonian lamb-stew lineage into a ground-beef, tomato-paste-and-spice sauce served over spaghetti or hot dogs to feed theatergoers; the recipe aimed to appeal to American tastes and has endured for a century, helping spark the region’s distinctive, cinnamon-forward, Mediterranean-influenced chili tradition rather than a Texas-style chili con carne." - ByDaniel Walton
