Even though there is some AI weirdness going on in some of those they are pretty cool. Still, I don't consider cinnamon rolls with chili an Iowa thing.

Did you never take hot lunch in school? Or go to the truckstop when it existed in Ames?

Huh, my school served it quite regularly.
My daughter's school serves it. After I heard about I would ask people if they had it or heard of it. A lot hadn't but some had. Just seemed to be a random thing if your school happened to serve it or not.

Just had one of the locals tell me that Kelce/swift are expected to be at the game

Ugh

Hmmm, supposedly the Chiefs crew were going to be at the BV West homecoming game tonight. They are routinely in attendance when the schedule allows as Matt Nagy's (former Bears HC and current Chief's OC) son is the starting QB.

Its really a north central Iowa thing. I grew up in central Iowa and never had it; wife from northern Iowa introduced me to it. Its honestly a great combo.

I grew up in Central Iowa and ate school lunch every day and never heard of this until I was in my 30s, and I'm far from the only one.
We had it 2 or 3 times a month in middle school. It's just a better alternative to corn bread, even though corn bread is great with chili.

I enjoy it but it's not chili.
Cincinnatians have an emotional attachment to it, and most recognize that outsiders may not get it. Count me as one who has that attachment. I now live an hour outside of Cincinnati, and when I miss home, I go to the Skyline a few miles away.

As a side note, Skyline near campus was recently featured at the end of a very unfunny Simpson’s episode. They did their homework, tho no one eats Cincinnati chili out of a bowl:



This location is crowded after a game.

Seems kinda sad the team can’t just trundle up to Cleveland Sunday to see Brock and the 49ers play.

Anyone making it a doubleheader weekend?

The real question is…would Charlie Kolar eat Skyline chili with his fingers?
