"Owner Fadi Khalilieh — whose family owned the now-shuttered JK’s Chili in Madeira, Ohio — took the family recipe and started a food truck in 2013, before finding a brick-and-mortar home in early 2022. The Chili Hut puts some innovative spins on classic chili parlor fare, like the Eden Pork, a cheese coney made with a spicy mettwurst sausage in a nod to Cincinnati’s German heritage, topped with chili, cheese, and coleslaw; or the Walking Taco, made with corn chips topped with chili, lettuce, tomato, onions, cheese, sour cream, and jalapenos." - Andy Brownfield
