Re: Skyline Chili.

When I first visited Reds Fan on his turf about 30 some years ago, he was showing me around the city and said, "If you are in Cincinnati, you have to try Skyline chili." So he took us to Skyline and explained all the permutations, one way, two way, etc. After eating there he asked me, "Well, what do you think?" I said to him, "I didn't think it was all that great."

He then says to me, and this is classic Reds Fan humor, "I never said it was any good, I only said you had to try it while you were in Cincinnati."

He did make it up to me by taking me to Graeters, after assuaging my fears that it was not another semantic lesson.
