Cincinnati style chili:


aka - a Coney and a Three Way.

I knew I forgot something the last time I was in Cincinnati.

I don't think there is a typical "American" food.

Irish Stew in the Name of the Law!

(Statue?)

That Ulster Fry looked a bit lean. Where was the Soda Bread? Where was the Wheaten Bread? Where was the Fried Slice? Was there any savoury Duck? And the Cup of Tea?

But you have to make do with some disappointing images.
Even this Irish Stew here, should be stewed for at least an hour longer.
You can still make out the individual carrots and chunks of meat, for goodness sake! It should be one very-nearly homogenous mass. Ideally.
Irish Stew with distinguishable components is for furriners.

From Wikipedia:

"Other variations are found. A hot dog served with the addition of cheese is known as a "cheese hotdog" or simply a "cheese dog". "Cheese dog" may also refer to a hot dog that contains processed cheese within the hot dog itself. A hot dog served with the addition of chili is typically known as a "chili dog" or "coney dog" in some areas (an exception being New York City's Coney Island).

In Quebec, Canada this is known as a "michigan" due to its popularity and possible origin in that U.S. state."

They are sometimes called that here in Upstate NY too.When I first met my wife, who comes from Michigan, I found this to be one of the real regional linguistic oddities: In MI a certain type of hot dog is named after a NY location, and in NY state, that same or similar creation is named after the state of Michigan.

Thas is VERY interesting. There's a place in Kalamazoo, MI called Coney Island that has made it's famous hotdogs with their special chili sauce since the 1950's. I never would have thought that that type of hot dog would be called a Michigan.

Only since the 50's?
As I recall, a coney island and a Nehi were the meal of choice for Ryan and Tatum O'Neal in Paper Moon, set in the Depression.
Coney Island in Mich. must be named after the park in NY.

We also have a Coney Island here in Cincinnati - it's along the river east of the city. They moved a lot of the rides to Kings Island when it opened - the idea was to have an amusement park that wasn't flooded all the time!

I was wrong. It opened in 1931. It's called Coney Island Cafe and is indeed named after the Coney Island in New York. What I find amusing is that what we call a "coney dog" isn't called a Coney Dog on Coney Island. That our so-called "coney dog" is called a Michigan or a Jackson (Jackson, MI) elsewhere is especially amusing because I've always thought our "Coney Island" stole the idea from New York.

Here's a blurb:

While the hot dogs at Madison Square Park may be excellent by local standards, for the best hot dog in the world one must travel west, across the George Washington Bridge, past Wellsville's Texas Hot, upstate, and all the way to East Michigan Avenue in Kalamazoo, Mich.

There, the Coney Island Cafe serves slowly grilled frankfurters on steamed buns garnished with mustard, chopped onion, meat chili sauce (no beans), salt and pepper. Over 75 years the price has crept from 5 cents to $1.50, but the quality and the cafe remain unchanged.

I hate hot dogs.

I'll eat your share then if you don't mind. In fact all this hot dog talk has decided what I'll eat for supper.
