maybe TWO monsters....the little hootie will want peanut butter dipped in chili also...!

Oh, now you're in trouble...Cuz you'll have to come HERE to get more...muahahaha...Fortunately, it works pretty well with regular chili, too...I think it's something to do with the chili powder...Just make sure it's mild :)


@Crabapple...Guess what I just got in the mail? :D

Thank you SOOOO much......I loved the 'order invoice' too...heh



Dear Sir,

In reference to order item # 2502801poonuts:

Item has been received...Fast shipping...Excellent price and...Is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

Pleasure doing business with you

*muah*

Very happy to return the favor. Back in the mid-70's, Famous Monsters Magazine was my favoritest thing in the world. I love sending issues out to people, it gives me a little thrill, and hopefully you and your family can have a little thrill out of it!

Y'see what I mean about these messed-up kinda battered copies having the extra character? you can kinda feel the history in it?

Trust me...It was definitely 'thrilling'...and it had a whole lotta "I've been loved, and much read" feel to it :)...

It was definitely showing its age...It's kinda like discovering an old abandoned building and exploring (which I LOVE btw)...Something amazingly cool from another era...

Something special and very much appreciated

Thanks again:cool:

I just thought of something...If you guys don't have this kind of chili...Do you have 'chili parlors'?

Gold Star
Skyline
Dixie Chili
Empress
Camp Washington Chili


Those are our most popular ones...They all serve the Cincinnati-style chili, in all of its various ways...And they don't serve anything else (except for Camp Washington, which also sells deli-style sandwiches...The others don't do that)

I don't know of any chili parlors in Los Angeles, at least not this sort of thing. I was reading that Gold Star take-out menu and was thinking that this was a strangely serious kind of fast food...it seems to follow certain rules...pretty damn interesting with all the pumpkin pie spices in that chili, because you'd swear you were eating punkin pie or something. It is wild.

About, oh, 20 years ago there was a chili place here, and it closed down shortly after I heard about it, so I never had a chance to go. But they served something called "Kick-Ass Chili" (really hot) and something called "Swamp Chili" (which featured several kinds of critter, including alligator). It sounded weird enough to be successful, but it was in a terrible location and I think that's why it closed.

okay, i ate the chili. i made chili dogs for dinner and i have to say...THAT CHILI IS THE FUCKING BOMB!

i'm tryin to ration it right now. so, where do i get more? i'll go anywhere.

:)...Well...You can come to my house, or visit the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area...OR...You can order it online here:

This one is a little cheaper:

Well I'm getting a little depressed here because I'll be running out of the chili before long and I want to share some with friends. The one you sent was the Cincinnati Recipe version. Is the Gold Star one just as good? Because it's cheaper, like you pointed out...but it doesn't say Cincinnati on it anywhere and that worries me. I'm afraid it's some kind of wimp-ass chili.

Don't like all this heavily-spiced uncertainty. Black pit of chili-based confusion and sadness.

By the way, one of the first links you will see at Cincinnati-To-You is "CORNHOLE GAMES." This is very disturbing. I thought this was a food site. What is this.
