    As someone from Pittsburgh, of course I wanted to try the chili everyone we met in Cincinnati talked about. While I quickly found out it wasn't my thing at all, it was difficult to be angry about it - some things just aren't for everyone! The service was still great and it was a nice, old-school diner vibe which I can appreciate. It's definitely something to give a shot if you haven't before.
