That's so typically Cincinnati. It's all part of their redheaded stepchild syndrome. I know it all too well. Criticize anything about their fair city or baseball team and instead of ignoring it or laughing it off the neck-tattooed cretins let the testosterone take over.

Cincy chili is a novelty. Interesting the first time, but not necessary at all after that.

And skyline is awful.

I rather enjoyed my skyline experiences. Montgomery Inn Boathouse, on the other hand, was awful.

 

You guys suck. Skyline is awesome for fast food. It's not the best representation of cincinnati chili though. The ribs at Montgomery Inn are amazing too IMO. Those are the only 2 good things about Cincinnati. The funny thing is about the Boathouse and the original Montgommery Inn is that people in Cincinnati take out of towners there to sample the best culinary delights the city has to offer. My fiance grew up in Cinci so I go there a couple times a year and everytime we come her family makes sure to make a reservation at Montommery Inn because that's just where you go for a top notch dinner for special occasions. It's delicious but if it were in Chicago it wouldnt be within the top 20 restaurants I'd want to take someone from out of town to.

 

The people there are........interesting to say the least. And the skyline is terrible and embarassing for a mid-sized city.

We were given no warnings about the need for reservations at Montgomery Inn. We walked (in jeans and t-shirt) from downtown, going through mud, a small bit of rain, etc. Got there at about 6:30. People were in suits and crap and it appeared as though there was valet parking. We go in, everyone just stares at us. They ask us the name our reservation is under. We don't have one, so they tell us it'll be about a 2 hour wait.

 

2.5 hours later, we finally get seated. Surprisingly, the place was practically empty. Why did we have to wait so long if there were so many tables open? Also, our food was dry. Last bits of the day, so that was expected. Compared to the BBQ we have near St. Louis, this stuff was horse crap.

I still can't get over Houston's boneheaded bunt defense from the other day. Downright wretched. It sucks that the Cubs can't even be the best at losing.

Oh god. I thought I was the only one who thought Skyline sucks. Literally like everyone I know but 2 or 3 that have tried Skyline fell in love with that crap. Now I can't go to Cincy with anyone because that means I have to go to Skyline.

Skyline isn't any good on its own, but if you drown it in hot sauce, it's not so bad anymore. I still wouldn't eat it voluntarily though.

There are some good restaurants here, but none of them serve quote-unquote Cincinnati cuisine. People around here like their food BLAND. "I don't like it hot" is a way of life around here when it comes to cuisine.
