If you want "real" Cincinnati chili, go to Kroger and buy a can of 
Skyline. Thats the closest you're gonna find outside of the Queen City.

You had a 3 way. 4 way is with beans. 

for the exact description go to http://www.skylinechili.com

I have a recipe I could send you, Mary. It comes from the Cincinnati 
Tour guide book. I've made it and it is very close to the Skyline 
recipe. Also you can now buy Gold Star spices in an envelope for about a 
buck at Meijer. All you need to add is tomato paste, and meat. Very 
good, and very simple. 

There are 2 factions of chili people in Cincinnati; the Skyline crowd 
and the Gold Star crowd. You can't like both and you must pick one if 
you plan on living anywhere near Cincinnati. ;)

I think I have lived in Ohio too long. I know wayyy too much about chili 
for my own good. ;)
