We also have Maid Rites. It all started here in Iowa. Call them "loose meats" or "Tavern's" if you will. The original recipe was said to have Coke syrup in it. And no you don't ad catsup! LOL

I live in Cincinnati. Here you can ask a lady if she's down for a 3, 4 or 5 way and not get smacked. She may take you up on it.
This is from Skyline. There are other chili places around town, Gold Star, Empress, Dixie Chili, etc. but Skyline is the best where I'm concerned.
BTW, this isn't Tex-Mex style chili.
If you go in thinking you're getting Tex-Mex, you will very disappointed very fast.
Don't knock it till you try it.

I never knew about Cincinnati chili until I lived there. Good stuff!
A 3 way and a couple of cheese coneys was a regular thing for lunch at the Skyline down the street from work at least once a week...maybe twice!

Oh yeah, and another Cincy favorite...
A Reuben and a German potato cake at Izzy’s.
We also used to get them at Decent Deli in Blue Ash back when they were good...before they went to crap and closed.

That reminds me of a story
I was training in KY in @75slant6 's backyard
When I walked into "ma's kitchen"
Thier special on Wednesday was a 12 ounce country fried steak...with all the fixings
Well, I had had a good lunch so I couldn't finish it, but I told the waitress, I'll be back next week
So, I got back the next Wednesday and ordered the 12 Oz country fried stake with all the fixings, corn bread, fries and green beans
She comes back out 15 minutes later with a huge plate with 2 large country fried steaks on there, and she says "hun, we were out of 12s, so I fried you up two 8s
By the end of that meal I could barely lift my fork

Many sugar houses actually serve a great breakfast with real syrup during he season. That coincides with the tail end of skiing so give it a go next time you're headed back from Vermont. This is one of the best in Shelburne Falls Massachusetts. They have been shipping about a gallon and a half of this stuff to us a year.
I’d say most of the higher end TexMex places here in the valley are pretty good. As a note, my wife and went to Claim Jumper over in Avondale last Saturday. We were heading home after the rat rod show at Lake Pleasent. When I looked at the menu I almost fell over on my chair. $50 for a steak dinner!!!!!! All the other items were sky high. There wasn’t many people eating there for a Saturday evening.
When we were planning a trip to Nashville, I believe @R4Sedan suggested we make the trip down to Monnel’s for their fried chicken and southern hospitality. We did, and man, that chicken was out of this world good. Best thing was you didn’t just get food and go, it’s in an old house on a little side street, you sit in just about any room of the house, depending on the size of your party. No ordering, you get what they bring you, I think Sipsey from Fried Green Tomatoes is the hostess, and it’s just like eating Sunday Supper at her house. It was an experience, not just a meal. Very reasonable too, like $12.95 a piece. We’re still licking our chops over that chicken, even the fried chicken queen, miss Nella has put it at the top of her list as the best fried chicken ever!
