https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnati_chili

Big reason why people from outside of the area don't like it or joke about it is because they associate it to chili con carne, or the more traditional chili that we make and serve with chunkiness to it.
However, Cincinnati chili was always intended to be more like a topping, not like a stew.
The actual creators of Cincinnati chili were Greek immigrants.
