Skyline Chili is often referred to as a fast food restaurant , as the processes in the restaurants and food preparation are as routine as in large fast food chains. Compared to these, however, you are served at the table at Skyline Chili and receive free crackers while you wait.
One of the specialties is the so-called Cincinnati Chili , a type of chili con carne that is served over spaghetti (e.g. 3-Way) or hot dogs (Coney or Cheese Coney). By using certain spices, the Cincinnati style chili of this restaurant chain has a particularly characteristic taste. The recipe, which is officially referred to as a well-kept family secret, is important. Skyline Chili is the official sponsor of the Cincinnati Reds and the Columbus Blue Jackets .
