"A fixture in Cincinnati’s blue collar Camp Washington neighborhood, the namesake chili parlor is one of the most lauded in the city, including a nod from the James Beard Foundation as an American Regional Classic and a starring role in a Lonnie Mack song. The parlor was founded by Greek immigrant Johnny Johnson in 1940 and is run today by his daughter Maria Papakirk, who traded a career in law for the family restaurant. The chili itself is a little spicier and more savory than other offerings. Try the restaurant’s unique 513-way, which swaps the traditional spaghetti for goetta, a crispy fried loaf composed of pork and pinhead (steel-cut) oats. Camp Washington Chili is open 24 hours a day, six days a week." - Andy Brownfield
