Cincinnati is a strange place when it comes to food. Local favorites include White Castle, Frisch's Big Boy, and Skyline Chili; all of which I find repulsive, though I do eat a white castle now and then. While it is obvious how disgusting White Castle is, Big Boy is similarly disgusting you just sit have a waitress to add to the atmosphere of indifference given to the food and the service.
Skyline, however, is an entirely different monster. Yes, there's waitresses who are 21 working along side their 15 year old daughter, but the food... Lets just say that I've gotten sick of the salad there, not to mention that the chili is NOT chili. It's actually a concoction of secret ingredients, the most prominent being cinnamon, poured over spaghetti noddles and topped with processed cheese, onions, and whatever else your heart desires. Calling is chili is not only misleading, but a down right lie. If you are ever near one of these establishments I implore you not to enter.
LaRosa's pizza is another local favorite, serving up pizzas with way too much sugar in the sauce and not enough toppings. Then, to add to the 'flavor', they let it sit on a counter somewhere for 30+ minutes so that the cheese coagulates and a proper amount of fly droppings are allowed to mingle with the pie... then, you are dared to eat it.
On the plus side, Goetta festival is coming up!
What's you local flavor.
