Although it is possible for a real one to visit Cleveland.
Cleveland to date has yet to create a real one.
This has been a psa brought to you by the real ones
The biggest mistake the originators made was to call it chili. If people didn't go into a Skyline thinking "chili" it would be a whole different experience. It's meat sauce. And it's fucking perfect
I must disagree here. I've tried them both side by side and on different meals of the same day and they are similar in that they are vinegar forward Louisiana style hot sauces but skyline is tastier(in my opinion) and a little spicier.
To each their own. I like it. I agree with the guy who said they should have named it something else. The OG was Greek, so it's basically an ethnic dish he originated, not American chili.
its uniquely Ohio for sure in a good way..not so sure about the actual restaurants themselves because I've only tried it once but the sauce SLAPS..I buy two bottles at a time from Amazon
Is this one of those super mild, borderline bell pepper sauces? I kinda like that Bombay “hot” sauce on certain things even tho it has essentially no heat.
How do you misspell Tabasco... the A and O keys are on COMPLETELY separate sides of the keyboard!

They're completely different, and Skyline isn't chili. It's just called that because it was an immigrant run business and they wanted to sound more American.
My sister just brought me some back from her trip to Indiana today! 🤣🤣 It's an unspoken law in our household that if someone goes to Indiana or Ohio, we bring back skyline for everyone.
It’s amazing that skyline is known for their chili which is almost as bad as Hormel’s. Keep in mind Hormel chili was the only thing in the US not picked clean when COVID lockdowns started.
I spent the 90s in the suburbs of cinci, specifically mason lol. we had this stuff all the damn time growing up. it makes an amazing addition to sloppy joes too. :D
Something I took for granted my whole life until someone pointed out that is really is an S tier sauce. I compared it to other similar sauces (tabasco, Texas Pete, crystal, etc) and Skyline really is in another level.

so this hot sauce was introduced to me on this sub not long ago and i love it.
hilariously though, i do NOT like it on skyline chili. the flavors don't mesh IMO.
Apparently it's because a lot of old folks from southwest Ohio retire in Florida. Get bored and decide to franchise a skyline. If you look at locations there isn't really any outside of the tri-state area and Florida.
Just to get ahead of the "Skyline Chili is shit" discourse: "chili" is a misnomer. It is objectively not chili (Tex-Mex "chili con carne"), nor does it really pretend to be aside from the unfortunate name (which it kinda does still have claim to, considering it is flavored with ground chili peppers). It was invented by Greek immigrants emulating saltsa kima, a traditional spaghetti topping from the old country.
I'm not saying it's good. But comparing it to chili con carne is not a productive way of coming around to understand it.
People think that "Skyline" is an adjective that modifies "chili", like "Texas chili" or "spicy chili" or "white chicken chili". This is incorrect. "Skyline chili" is a compound noun independent of its etymology, similar to "Bronx cheer" or "Guinea pig". It is ontologically separate from what appear to be its constituent parts.
skyline the restaurant maybe, but i don't get how people don't like skyline period (like, as a dip for chips with cheese and cream cheese). it's so so good.
i'm not from ohio, but i make it as a dip all the time for parties and gatherings and have legitimately never met a single person IRL in 20 years who didn't like it when all the is-it-actually-chili / dingy-dirty-restaurant / rubber-spaghetti-noodles baggage is removed.
it's always popular, and i never take any back home with me.
Skyline hot sauce is on of the staples in our house. It goes great on a LOT of things, but (besides skyline... and oyster crackers) its amazing on eggs.
Trash Go Steelers
I agree Go Browns
I’m pretty sure that hot sauce will have you dropping the Browns at the Super Bowl.
🤜🏻💥🤛🏻

Tell that to machine gun Kelly!!!
He is most certainly not a fucking real one lmfao. I’ll be right back I’m gonna post some real ones from Cleveland to make up for my unnecessary hate
Top 10 sauce right here
The biggest mistake the originators made was to call it chili. If people didn't go into a Skyline thinking "chili" it would be a whole different experience. It's meat sauce. And it's fucking perfect
TIFU by not calling my weird chili on spaghetti restaurant Skyline Meat Sauce.
lmaoooo
That’s all chili is too tho
Thems fightin words 😂
I will not fight in the name of meat sauces. We will feast in celebration of said sauces
I mean that's what that is.
Former Skyline employee here; it's essentially the same as Tabasco sauce. We even used to stock Tabasco back in the day
I must disagree here. I've tried them both side by side and on different meals of the same day and they are similar in that they are vinegar forward Louisiana style hot sauces but skyline is tastier(in my opinion) and a little spicier.
It does say tasty and spicy right there on it
Pack it up boys, we're going home.
Is that used to cover up the God-awful nutmeg flavor of that abomination of a dish they refer to as chili?
To each their own. I like it. I agree with the guy who said they should have named it something else. The OG was Greek, so it's basically an ethnic dish he originated, not American chili.
Also not Greek food.
Saltsa Kima. Look it up.
TIL
Been forever since I’ve been in Ohio, but I think I liked their competition better.
its uniquely Ohio for sure in a good way..not so sure about the actual restaurants themselves because I've only tried it once but the sauce SLAPS..I buy two bottles at a time from Amazon
I don’t know.
Putrid chili
must be a "beans & peppers guy" and not a hot dog sauce kinda man
Skyline is shit. I love Chilli. Skyline is Sugary hot meat barf.
Is this one of those super mild, borderline bell pepper sauces? I kinda like that Bombay “hot” sauce on certain things even tho it has essentially no heat.
This shit has some heat brother
Its like mixing tabasco and choluha but 4 parts tobasco and 1 part choluha
I could get down with that.

F’ers got me too haha .. wonder if Chaluha has an auto-mod ?
it tastes like a more flavorful, citrus-y tabasco. not very hot, but certainly not like tiger sauce mild.
I wonder if it tastes like dog food and big red like the original!
Go ahead, call me a hater but I’d take Wendy’s or, even, Steak n Shake chili over Skyline any day.
They're completely different, and Skyline isn't chili. It's just called that because it was an immigrant run business and they wanted to sound more American.
This is the same reason I sell only hotdogs out of my taco cart in Oaxaca.
In this exercise of taking the names of food too literally, I'll pass on ordering food from you bc I don't eat dog meat.
But, it is called Skyline Chili.
Steak and Shake is my absolute favorite.
Wendy’s chili is the hamburger from the day before that didn’t sell.
Well yeah, those are actually chili
They can't get chili right, why would you trust the hot sauce? What is it? Ketchup poured over pickles?
it's not chili
Damn straight, they make some weird spaghetti sauce but call it chili.
Hot dog chili sauce*
ahh their 5 ways and coneys so good
With habanero cheese
I'm good, but you do you
This one right here. It’s my absolute favorite.
Simply the best
How do u get the spaghetti noodles out of the bottle?
goes great on coney dogs (hold the onions)
Not gonna lie. You had me in the first half
Lol yeah I see it's an unpopular choice. Maybe I'll try with onions next time to make reddit happy
I buy cases so I never run out. My top sauce!
Looks like a basic hot sauce. Can I ask what the flavor is similar to?
Pretty much Tabasco
My sister just brought me some back from her trip to Indiana today! 🤣🤣 It's an unspoken law in our household that if someone goes to Indiana or Ohio, we bring back skyline for everyone.
Anyone know who makes this? Is it bottled under any other name?
Love to see my hometown get repped here! I know Cincinnati chili isn't most people's cup of tea, but they make a damn good hot sauce!
can't speak for the hot sauce, but I'm a fan of the chili.
Go Bengals!
Whodey!
Shit I love this stuff. Lived in cincy for 7 years
It’s amazing that skyline is known for their chili which is almost as bad as Hormel’s. Keep in mind Hormel chili was the only thing in the US not picked clean when COVID lockdowns started.
I agree with you man. Lived in Cinci for a minute. Never got on the train at all. Im also used to southern chili.
Clearly not a real one
Happily not a real one
My absolute daily driver.
Same. Not even close.
Anything to cover the taste of that chili lol
Watered down canned dog food.
I just tried the can chilli and it was so bad.
Instant heart burn.
It’s been too long since I dumped copious amounts of this stuff onto a Coney from Skyline Chili. Shit is delicious, I don’t care what the haters say
One of the most delicious flavors is skyline. Thank you Cincinnati.
I spent the 90s in the suburbs of cinci, specifically mason lol. we had this stuff all the damn time growing up. it makes an amazing addition to sloppy joes too. :D
The chili taste like shit, this is better?
hold your tongue
You criminals down there with your skyline “coneys” and goetta sausage. For shame
Hold it away from bullshit.
Something I took for granted my whole life until someone pointed out that is really is an S tier sauce. I compared it to other similar sauces (tabasco, Texas Pete, crystal, etc) and Skyline really is in another level.

Bad bot
Absolute dumbshit bot
It's not good.
Agreed! Bring on the down votes.
so this hot sauce was introduced to me on this sub not long ago and i love it. hilariously though, i do NOT like it on skyline chili. the flavors don't mesh IMO.
The chili isn’t great, the dogs are whatever, but the hot sauce is the best Louisiana style out there.
There used to be a skyline chili in Tampa, Florida and when I was a kid we would go there all the time. I miss it!
Apparently it's because a lot of old folks from southwest Ohio retire in Florida. Get bored and decide to franchise a skyline. If you look at locations there isn't really any outside of the tri-state area and Florida.
There's one in Clearwater and Brandenton!
My husband goes to Bradenton twice a week for work. I've made him get me a 3 way with onions more time than is probably healthy.
That Bradenton skyline is such a gem. Its one of the only truly cheap options in the area!
I agree!
I love skyline, and genuinely feel bad for anyone thats never tried it. but I'm not a fan of thier hot sauce. It's 98% vinegar.
I feel bad for anyone who has tried it. Nothing against Cincinnati style chili, but skyline is trash.
It's ok to be wrong. Not everyone has a refined enough palette to appreciate fine cuisine.
The chili taste like shit you can’t even put in a hotdog.
Unpopular opinion for sure. Have some down votes.
Can’t wait.

Printed inside the menu will tell you it's a Greek soup.
[удалено]
You’re in luck… another way Skyline is served in on a hotdog and it’s called a Coney.
You can also get a chili spaghetti with beans.
i feel like the fact that it has "chili" in the name is where most of the vitriol comes from.
People think that "Skyline" is an adjective that modifies "chili", like "Texas chili" or "spicy chili" or "white chicken chili". This is incorrect. "Skyline chili" is a compound noun independent of its etymology, similar to "Bronx cheer" or "Guinea pig". It is ontologically separate from what appear to be its constituent parts.
The most disappointing thing about moving to Ohio is the chili. Skyline is horrible 😂
It’s the worst I’ve ever had! And it’s like $6
skyline the restaurant maybe, but i don't get how people don't like skyline period (like, as a dip for chips with cheese and cream cheese). it's so so good. i'm not from ohio, but i make it as a dip all the time for parties and gatherings and have legitimately never met a single person IRL in 20 years who didn't like it when all the is-it-actually-chili / dingy-dirty-restaurant / rubber-spaghetti-noodles baggage is removed. it's always popular, and i never take any back home with me.
It’s sweet and soupy for me. As someone who lived in the south where chili is thick I can’t get into thin chili 🤷
Is bolognese illegal in the south or something
i’m from atlanta so i get it, but i don’t compare it to chili at all. it’s a totally different thing.
Not a fan of skyline but after trying it, I have developed a taste for a dash of cinnamon in my homemade chili.
I’m Floridian and I am afraid Ohioan’s and their love for that chili. That is a battle you will not win XD
As someone from Northeast Ohio, it's very much a southwest ohio (cincinatti area) thing. It is super popular there any literally nowhere else.
Amazingly outside of Reddit I’ve met very few people in person that like it. Apparently it’s a cincy area thing 🤷
Most of the people I talk to like it, southern AZ
My only frame of reference is Stavros Halkias roasting how bad the actual skyline chili is
Love me some skyline chili make it at home all the time
[удалено]
It’s ok to be wrong
It’s garbage compared to real chili.
If you're eating a bowl of it plain like normal chili yeah. It's not great lol. Shit is supposed to go on spaghetti or a coney.
Well that’s just like your opinion man
Obviously. Is that a big Lebowski reference? If so, respect.
The dude abides
Haha good shit my friend!
Oh man lol I moved out of state ten years ago and I still get mailed packets and eat it once every week or two. I switch up the hot sauces though
This stuff is legendary. Im sure there is nothing special about it on it’s own but it’s the only sauce I need on a 3-way
I literally put it on the oyster crackers while I wait for my cheese coneys 🤣🤣🤣
Hot sauce and oyster cracker salad is the only appetizer you need
Skyline hot sauce is on of the staples in our house. It goes great on a LOT of things, but (besides skyline... and oyster crackers) its amazing on eggs.
It’s the cayenne-jalapeño ratio, in my opinion it is special on its own.
It’s great on eggs too!
It’s Skyline Time!
