Skyline chili is the Imo's of chili.
I take this to mean that it is only loved by locals who haven't tried anything better and then midly appreciated by non-locals who notice that it tastes like [expletive] sober, but it is good for soaking up the alcohol after a night of heavy drinking.
or was this a positive comment in favor of Skyline?
no what he is saying is that it is covered in provolone therefore it is awesome
Imo's uses provel, which isn't the same as provolone. Provel is a processed mix of cheddar, swiss, and provolone; I actually like it better on French onion soup than on pizza.
i meant provel.
i always get them confused
Just remember this, and you won't be confused anymore ...
Provolone = a kind of cheese, excellent on sandwiches

Skyline is incredible sober. I could live off it. Imo's is ketchup on crackers. Big difference. The problem is non-locals eat it expecting chili, when it's not really chili, but more of a sauce.
Not bland at all. I made my own home made skyline and used crazy amount of spices and it came out tasting very similar to the real skyline. Cinnamon, chocolate, corriander, garlic, and many more. Add some beans and hot sauce topped with a mound of shredded cheddar and it becomes crack cocaine instantly.
When I was in Dayton all the locals were appalled I'd never had Skyline before. Had a cousin from Ohio who loved Skyline, and when I said I'd never been he insisted we go.
Went and got a couple of Cheese Coney's and was underwhelmed. It wasn't because I expected 'chili' and got 'sauce'. It just had an off taste to it. I didn't have the Chili Mac their, but I have a feeling I'd prefer Steak & Shake chili on noodles. Even canned Hormel was better to me.
I wouldn't say either is 'terrible', but neither is the delicacy locals in either city make it out to be.

People that didn't grow up with it tend to not like it. I had a friend who moved there in high school. I took him to skyline. He didn't like it. We went again, it kinda grew on him. Next thing you know he's addicted to it. He's working and living in downtown Cincinnati now and he eats it almost daily.
Now if you want a higher quality chili, there's some random restaurants there that serve Cincinnati style chili that's really good. By my parents' place is Dixie Chili and it's delicious.
