Camp Washington Chili

The Best Cincinnati Chili in Cincinnati | Bon Appétit

"A James Beard 'America’s Classics' winner, this longtime neighborhood counter-service spot draws lunchtime crowds with a coarser, beefier grind of chili flavored with cinnamon and oregano and generous ladles of meat; its rebuilt midcentury-style dining room features neon, chrome and walls plastered with press clippings celebrating chili patriarchs. Classics are recommended—especially an inverted three-way so the chili’s beefy juices mingle with the cheese—and a local twist, the '513-way,' adds goetta for a savory, regionally specific finish." - ByDaniel Walton
