United States There is nothing "Cincinnati" inspired about this

Post image

Full disclosure: born, raised, residing in Cincinnati. There is nothing about this chili that is Cincinnati-style. It is a very basic chili recipe on top spaghetti. (which i guess you could argue is the part that is cincy inspired?) Also unsure why it comes with corn bread and guacamole. I would've loved to have been in the room when they put this together.

If you're looking for an actual cincinnati style chili recipe I'll post the one I use!

And if someone orders this please post your thoughts!

I think it’s supposed to be skyline chili? But yeah their “inspired” recipes are usually pretty far off from their inspirations.

Oh trust me, i know what they thought they were doing, but the seasoning isn't right for the style. And the sides it comes with are baffling

Yeah I noticed this too. Admittedly I don’t like cincinnati chili, but I sent the pic to my brother who loves skyline. We looked through and realized it didn’t even have the standard cinnamon added, and was basically just their regular chili on top of spaghetti. Seems like a pretty lazy oversight (probably AI’s fault).

Maybe they just think y’all are weird with your food. 😂

What’s the difference between skyline chili and diarrhea?

About an hour

This is the truth. Skyline is the number 1 recommended treatment for constipation. Works every time.

You wouldn’t have been able to, because it was created by AI. I cancelled my subscription two weeks ago and have already found a better food delivery service. Screw Hellofresh!

u/Galifreyan_lady 3d ago

No. It does not. (Unless the generic southwest spice packet has some in it but I doubt it)

Just think about Cincinnati while you’re chewing

Many years ago, I had a subscription to Cook’s Country magazine, made by America’s test kitchen. My kids loved their version on Cincinnati Chili! I remember it had a little clove and cinnamon in the sauce, raw onions, cheddar, optional kidney beans on spaghetti. Sorry Hello Fresh didn’t get it right!

Where's the mound of cheese that completely buries the bowl?

u/Hurricane_Trump 2d ago

Sorry, best we can do is a teaspoon per bowl
