EDWARD'S

"The commenter inquired if Edward's offers the small oyster crackers often served with Skyline chili hot sauce, and was pleased to learn they do."

"This commenter dislikes the appearance of the food, calling it 'gross'."

"This commenter argues that Cincinnati chili, which they describe as a sauce with Greek/Mediterranean spices, is a bad dish and not charming despite being a local tradition. They feel it's unappealing and would not be improved by adding cheese."

"The commenter describes Cincinnati chili as similar to a 'spaghetti with some weird bolognese' and, despite initial thoughts of it sounding revolting, has enjoyed it twice."

"The commenter enjoyed the Cincinnati Night at Edward's, finding the Skyline chili delicious with fun flavors and a good balance, and appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet. They would return for another Cincinnati Night, preferring coneys over the plated four-way."

"This commenter suggests approaching Cincinnati chili as an entirely new type of food rather than conventional chili to improve the perception, noting that even with this approach, it might not appeal to everyone."

"Having family in Cincinnati, the commenter found the price of the chili at Edward's to be the worst aspect, as Cincinnati chili is traditionally considered cheap food."

"This comment confirms that Edward's uses canned Skyline chili, referencing a New Yorker article from 2009 as evidence."

"The commenter discovered that Wegmans at Astor Place sells cans of Skyline chili, expressing surprise at the availability."

"The commenter notes that Edward's uses canned Skyline chili, a fact confirmed by Edward himself years ago, suggesting it's a practical choice as replicating the unique taste is difficult for his cooks."

"The commenter expresses shock at the price, finding $19 for the amount of cheese served to be excessive."

"This commenter, who grew up with Cincinnati chili, felt that while Edward's version scratched the itch, they preferred the processed cheese and potentially different hot dog from back home, suggesting actual Skyline or Gold Star in the Ohio/Kentucky area for the authentic experience."
