Skyline Chili Multiple locations Cincinnati is in your blood and you love everything about this city, right down to its misunderstood chili. You practically worship at the altar of Fountain Square: You’re at every Reds, Bengals and FC Cincinnati game possible; your favorite chips are Grippo’s BBQ; and you can’t wait for all your out-of-town friends and family to try Skyline. You also cried a little bit when they switched from Pepsi to Coke products, but you’re a loyal diner who isn’t happy unless you have a plate of spaghetti smothered in chili and topped with cheese in front of you.
