If you’re thinking of relocating to Cincinnati there is one thing you need to learn pretty darn quick. The city is all about its chili.”Cincinnati style” chili is a regional favorite (dare I say addiction?) that is characterized as no other chili you might have encountered since it contains ingredients such as cinnamon, cloves, allspice, or even chocolate.Don’t be scared it’s awesomely yummy.And what makes Cincinnati’s chili even more interesting is the unique way it’s served or ordered:

• two-way: spaghetti and chili
• three-way: spaghetti, chili, and shredded cheese
• four-way: spaghetti, chili, shredded cheese, and either diced onions or beans
• five-way: spaghetti, chili, shredded cheese, diced onions, and beans

A suggestion for your first encounter is to try the “two way” and if you get bitten by the addition-bug (as I suspect you will) then venture out to the other delectable combinations.So if you’re considering Cincinnati for relocation and visiting here on a possible house-hunting mission, definitely take the time to sit down and relax over a bowl of “two-way.” Chances are it’ll seal the deal for making Cincinnati your new home!
