Does Skyline use all beef hot dogs?
An all-beef hot dog in a steamed bun, with mustard, covered with Cincinnati Chili, diced onions, and a mound of shredded cheddar cheese. The chili really is the star of this Cheese Coney. It starts with a warmly-spiced meat sauce with a touch of chocolate added, and it's slow-simmered to just the right constancy.
They use Blue Grass hot dogs and they were certainly some of the best I have tasted thus far. The buns are made by Klosterman, they were soft, fresh and held up well. The cheese also tasted very fresh and was shredded well. Even the oyster crackers are locally made by Kroger.
B & J buns are inspected before being packaged to be sent to Skyline chili parlors around the region. Klosterman Baking company also makes coney buns, but they don't have the legacy in the chili parlor industry that the Toleski family has. Owner Steve Toleski's father was Alexander Tolevich (1909-1991).
They might seem like different names for the same style of hot dog, but Coney Island dogs are smothered with a meat sauce that's not exactly chili—plus onions and yellow mustard. Chili dogs can be topped with meat and bean chili as well as cheese or cheese sauce.
-1 large brown/yellow onion (I have seen these called both brown or yellow, just don't use white onion. Red onion is good too, but it gives the chili a different flavor.)
Description: This classic Cincinnati dish starts with a foundation of spaghetti noodles coated in Skyline's secret blend of seasonings. A heaping spoonful of kidney beans goes on next, followed by Skyline's "original, secret-recipe chili," some chopped onions and a heaping mound of finely shredded aged cheddar.
Whiskey and sweet vermouth formed the drink's base, while house-made bitters, chili powder, cinnamon, cumin, cayenne, cloves, and even dark chocolate rounded out the very Cincinnatian co*cktail.
The chili at Gold Star has a bit more meat than Skyline. I thought it was less spicy than Skyline's, but Shae thought it was more spicy. The chili fries were also a little different as Gold Star serves crinkle fries (which I prefer for having with chili fries), whereas Skyline serves straight fries.
Are Gold Star hot dogs beef or pork?
Before we were Gold Star, we were Hamburger Heaven, our founder's first restaurant. Take a trip down memory lane with our 100% fresh American beef burgers, made with secret seasoning and topped with our house-made “heavenly” sauce. All burgers are served with our piping hot crinkle cut French fries.
Skyline Chili was founded over 70 years ago in Cincinnati by Nicholas Lambrinides and his family. The Lambrinides and other long-term franchisee families have nurtured and grown Skyline Chili into a unique culinary signature of the Cincinnati community.
The ingredients are: distilled vinegar, water, red tabasco pepper, salt, red jalapeño pepper, red cayenne pepper, natural flavor, corn starch-modified, guar gum, xanthan gum, and ascorbic acid. So, we have a trinity of chili peppers here — red tabascos, jalapeños, and cayenne.
The company is privately owned by the investment firm Fleet Equity Partners. Skyline Chili, Inc. began as a single chili parlor located on Cincinnati's Glenway Avenue. Its founder, Nicholas Lambrinides, grew up in the village of Kastoria, in Greece, where he learned to cook by watching his mother and grandmother.

After we've cooked our spaghetti, we mix it with a specially prepared tomato sauce that adds both color and flavor to the pasta. The cooking process is completed by steam heating the refrigerated, prepared pasta before being taken to the steamtable. YOUR CHEESE IS DELICIOUS. HOW MUCH DO YOU GO THROUGH IN A WEEK?
Traditional red chili often includes cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, though it's not limited to these spices. Cincinnati chili, on the other hand, has a sweeter edge with spices like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and allspice. Some recipes also use cocoa powder.
Is Cincinnati chili really chili?
By any reasonable definition, Cincinnati chili is not chili. It's served on a plate. You eat it with a fork. It's ladled on spaghetti and topped with an avalanche of shredded cheddar that blankets the entire top, concealing almost all the chili underneath.
Cincinnati chili is an acquired taste that has developed a cult following around its unique flavor and serving options. The sauce-like consistency, sweet spices, delicately textured beef, and inclusion of spaghetti are the elements that set Cincinnati chili apart from the spicy "bowl o' red" served in other areas.
5-Way. A 3-Way with diced onions and beans.
All-beef hot dogs are topped with a homemade onion relish, sauerkraut, and brown mustard, then nestled into a soft hot dog bun. The hot dogs are boiled just like they are on the street cart, but you can also grill them or cook them on a skillet.
Unlike your typical hot dog topped with ketchup and mustard, the New York Hot Dog is topped with sauerkraut, onion sauce, and spicy brown mustard. To say it's packed full of flavor is an understatement!
In flavor and appearance, sport peppers, which are from the Capsicum Annuum species, are similar to the tabasco plant, just a little smaller and green or yellow instead of bright red. It's also close to the pepperoncini, a milder pepper that tends to get pickled and used in the same way.
