Re: Skyline or Gold Star?

Although my friends tease me for this all the time, I am a major Gold Star Chili fan. I like the fact that it is a meatier chili. I know that Skyline is the "sexier" of the two brands, but given a choice I will take Gold Star.

Re: Skyline or Gold Star?

I drove 45 minutes tonight to enjoy our Skyline here in Tampa. A 3 way with 3 cheese coneys.

Awesome.

There's also a skyline in Ft. Myers that I've eaten at several times. It's cool to go in there and see all the Cincinnati sports stuff hanging on the walls.

I commented on this last night. It's so awesome to eat right next to a UC Bearcat logo.

In this town it's the Bucs or well, the Yankees lol....

A good point. There are about a gazillion chili holes in town, run by greek families and most of them have outstanding chili. If someone asks me to go to Skyline, Gold Star, Empress, Delhi Chili, Pleasant Ridge Chili, Blue Ash Chili or just about any other chili place in town, I am very unlikely to decline.

Re: Skyline or Gold Star?

Forgive me for being ignorant on the subject, but does Gold Star Chili have the same type of unusual taste as Skyline or is it more along the lines of traditional chili? I have had Skyline and, while I liked it ok, I still prefer the taste of southwest style chili.

For the most part, people don't eat Cincinnati style (Skyline, Gold Star, Dixie, etc) as a bowl of chili. It is for a 3, 4 or 5 way or on coneys. If they (or at least for me and most of the people I know) want a bowl of chili, then they usually get a traditional bowl of chili.

Re: Skyline or Gold Star?

Gold Star is okay but the spaghetti tends to be really thin & watery. Give me Skyline anytime.
