Agree with that.

I can't help but notice in the AP poll:

The top two undefeated teams are from the same conference.
The top one loss team is from that conference.
The top two loss team is ..... from that same conference.

Being the best 1-loss team is a lot better than being the best 2-loss team.

Wake-NC State announcer just said a guy in the weight room transformed from DAVID Banner to the Incredible Hulk?
The TV "Hulk" starring Lou Ferrigno had the alter ego of DAVID Banner.

The fried jalapenoes are unique to Blue Ash Chili, they call it a six way.  The five way is comprised of:

1.  Spaghetti noodles (generally cooked to death)
2.  The brownish sauce that is considered to be chili
3.  A mound of shredded cheddar cheese on top
4.  Diced onion, raw
5.  Beans of some sort, the reddish brown kind.\

One can order a "4-way onion" or a "4 way bean".  The 6 way adds the jalapenoes.  The sauce itself is an eastern Mediterranean concoction that can include chocolate and cinnamon, depending.  If you get a 4-way onion and apply a good portion of hot sauce, it is "not bad".
According to wiki:

Many home recipes call for a small amount of dark unsweetened chocolate, but according to Dann Woellert, author of The Authentic History of Cincinnati Chili, "There is no chili parlor in Cincinnati that uses chocolate in its chili."

Chocolate is expensive, so I'd imagine they left it out decades ago.  They can use other ingredients to simulate whatever flavor it might have conferred at low levels.

Obviously, various recipes call for it, I have no clue what might have been used originally.  It's interesting how this "chili" took over one small region to such an extent and never spread elsewhere to any extent.

I get a bit of a hankering for it once a month, but I lie down and it passes.  The other Cincinnati "tradition" of course is "sliders", White Castle, emulated down here by another chain (that isn't doing do well, I can't even recall the name now).

Then there is Waffle House which did originate down here and has spread rather widely and attracted copycats also.

Good piece on Waffle House management style  in WSJ over the weekend.   Paywall otherwise I'd link.

Will PJ Fleck row his boat to Tallahassee?
A place like FSU will not allow him to put ROW and oars all over the place. No chance.

When you say down here do you mean the Atl or Cinci?Anyway they should have called that Slumgolian or sumsuch almost seams like a clean the fridge out recipe.....oh,add this too.Even I wouldn't recognize it as Chili - not having beans and all.

 It's interesting how this "chili" took over one small region to such an extent and never spread elsewhere to any extent.


Skyline has a pretty substantial foothold in Columbus, Indianapolis and Louisville with over half a dozen locations in each market. They also have one offs as far flung as Cleveland, Lexington and South Bend. So that's a fairly substantial footprint beyond the Cincy tri-state region.

Gold Star is the other mega chain, contained entirely in the Cincy-Dayton area.

Then there is Dixie Chili, which is only found in Cincy's Kentucky suburbs. 

Oh, and "Krystal" is the SE's White Castle, iirc. Hard to imagine a worse burger than White Castle, but a knock off chain thereof would certainly qualify as a strong contender.

Shoot if he offers to pay for it they'd probably let him put up all kinds of stuff.  They are still trying to raise funds for a football facility which kicked off with a million dollar donation from...Willie Taggart.

Yeah, Krystal, kind of a poor McDonalds that isn't cheaper.

Waffle House started in Atlanta.  They are interesting anyway.

The Varsity is in Atlanta and Athens, and not really good, but is interesting.
