It is actually VERY complex with flavours and when added to the different ways to eat it in Cincy (I will ONLY eat Coneys or the Chili on its own; an Italian eating that, "pasta," is blasphemy), it adds further complexity to textures and consistency.

Again, it's not for everyone, but it is an incredibly-delicious and complex dish.

I've made it at home (the, "apparent," authentic Skyline recipe) 3 times now and it is INCREDIBLE. Mine comes out a bit-thicker than the OG versions, but alone or on Hot Dogs, just superb.

It's just okay and not really that complex in my opinion.  I've had every version commercial as well as several homemade many, many times because I live in the area.  It's good but not amazing or delicious.  If someone asked me what one food would I choose to eat for the rest of my life Cinci (Mediterranean spiced Chili) would not even pop into my mind.  It isn't even close to the best chili I've had.   Again it's good but in my opinion not near worth all the praise and recommendations it gets.   It's value is more that you can't get it everywhere so it is a regional "specialty".
