I was in Cincinnati a few years ago, and the locals insisted I eat 
at Skyline.  It's served over spaghetti, and you can get it "1-way",
"2-way"..."5-way", where that indicates how many toppings you want.
Toppings include shredded cheese, kidney beans, raw onions, etc.  The 
story on the menu described how a Greek immigrant opened the first 
restaurant in the 1930's(?).

Like Alex, I didn't care for it much, either.  It wasn't bad, but I 
wouldn't go out of my way to eat there.  And it certainly isn't what I 
make when I prepare chili.  I would doubt there is any chile in there 
at all - to me, it tasted like a thin, runny tomato sauce with a few 
greek spices, most notably cinnamon.
