Five-Way: Cincinnati-Style Chili

Any idea what Cincinnati-Style Chili looks like? It’s a pile of cheddar sitting on a pile of chili on top of a pile of spaghetti. For a dish that looks so comical, it is hard to believe that it can taste so… divine. This is not your typical chili, it’s a chili that resembles...

This is probably the longest it’s been between posts. Too many things going on and too many places to be at once. Sometimes you just have to let some things go and go back to Step 1: priortizing. But since I owe you all for being MIA for so long, it only makes sense...
