OK, now I get it. Cincinatti-style chili is Greek chili.
That makes sense.
Since then, Skyline Chili’s Coneys, Ways and table-side service have
been enjoyed by generations. Our Chili continues to be made from
Nicholas’s original recipe, using a secret blend of spices and only the
highest quality ingredients. Skyline is dedicated to bringing friends
and families together for an experience like no other and we will
always be devoted to the American dream of that young man
from a small village in Greece.

It's kind of like when you are born in Switzerland and your ancestors are from American. You're an American-Swiss. Same goes for the cheese. It is made in Switzerland, but it uses the American cheese recipe.
Not to change the subject off chicken...but I make a mean dark deer chili wif bitter chcolate and instant coffee and the usual spices .....a bunch of em and fresh tomatoes from my garden, onions, garlic, peppers etc and mex beer. Sum times black beans, mostly not..served wif cornbread. Won the South Carolina cili cookoff... :D Damn good if I do say so.
Never had skyline chili, but betting is fairly sweet red sauce based.
Speaking of sub shops. No one can beat Ted's Giant Grinders (Storrs, CT) for sheer quantity. Their 'small' subs were a foot long. Nothing beats a large cheeseburger sub from Ted's with all the fixings at about 2 a.m. I don't care if you just smoked an ounce of weed, you weren't finishing that sumbitch off in one sitting.
I love the cheese coneys and chili spaghettis at Skyline, but admittedly, this is a place you have to grow up with to truly enjoy. I wouldn't recommend it highly to someone from out-of-region unless they're really eager to get a taste of the filthy Midwest. Nonetheless, before the waitress brings out that hot mess I always 'tro down a few power bombs (these are created by simply carving a hole at the top of an oyster cracker with metal fork and loading it up with hot sauce).
