Good evening.
Here’s the background to this tasting. You may be aware that in the past during the offseason I used to do an international snaxx post where I would get high and go to international grocery stores for stoner food. Well, I once mentioned that I would enjoy trying Skyline Chili as it’s as maligned as the Big Turk. I enjoy things like cilantro, pineapple on pizza, and this one seemed polarizing for the folks south of us so why the hell not?
In my intrepid reseacrch I learned that chugging Skyline is also a thing.
If you know Balls of Steel, he’s the nicest guy and one of the most generoUs folk here. A while ago I said that I wanted to try Skyline chili, because how bad could it be? Then in our snacks and booze exchanges (still eating Mexi snaxx, seriously) he included in one of the boxes 2 cans of Skyline chili. He regularly texted me about when I was going to do it….
Then, I thought that who better than to assist me with this than my BIL BC Dick?
Unluckily/luckily? LitrePug got kennel cough when I visited Az so we could not have Litrepug and Butters together this weekend. I was about to not make the journey West but BC Dick said he could have pet sitters for Butters so to come out with the family. However, we “had” to go back to Kelowna from my inlaws on Saturday to stay with him. Perfect.
Our plan is to go to some breweries and then make Skyline chili. There will be copioUs amounts of weed involved.
/Mrs. Cola is thankful that we aren’t doing this in the hometown as it could get stinky.
To the day of the chili.
We drive back to BC Dick’s house with a stop at the liquor store for some home beers. Once there his tenant came home and drove us to Brewery #1 Jackknife Brewing where we were going to start the afternoon of freedom. We ordered one of their pizzas and it easily was one of the best I have ever had in BC. After the Hair Straight back and then the very potent Hammer of Doom, we then decided to head next door to another brewery. The next place was expensive and non descript so I won’t even mention anything else. Following that, we decided to head to one of my favoUrites Vice and Virtue brewing who make The Love Potion which is a raspberry Berliner vice. Lovely on a springtime day. So lovely that we took 4 beer to go for the walk home.
It is time….
But first, a hash joint and more beers, in BC Dick’s case some whiskey too. This is where we started commenting a little bit on the Saturday Night Open Thread. We clearly were inebriated.
We were going to do this the 4 way method with cooked onions and cheddar cheese. The only additions I made were a little bit of brown sugar and garlic with the onions.
I open the can, the smell is sort of cinnamon and nutmeg. It looks like diarrhea, smells kind of nice though.
The onions are ready for the addition of the meat can.
Pasta is ready! (BC Dick said I cooked it perfectly)
We assemble. Normally both of us would add hot sauce but at 1st we wanted to taste it as is.
Folks, it’s damn good. Yes we were drunk, yes we were high but this stuff hit the spot. We ate all of it and couldn’t believe how it had been misrepresented. The only worrying part was going to be the next day because add that salty chili to a stomach full of craft beer and there could be issues.
I will say, there were none. Everything as it should be the next day and no ill effects from the salt bomb.
In closing Skyline Chili is ok by us and we plan to make chili dogs this summer when I visit BC again.
What regional specialty should I look to next? We will see each other again in July so there is time.
Keep in mind I have eaten Cow Balls, Snake, Scorpion etc.
Catching up from last night ’cause I had shit to do (Narrator: “He did not have shit to do.”)
Ya’ll up for trying a couple of MREs?
Be sure to rat fuck the box and give them the shitty ones.
Fuck yeah!
My wife: Every time I want to talk to you, you either have to go to the bathroom or you just go to sleep.
Well, do that shit before 10 pm. I’m absolutely full of shit and I am tired.
“We clearly were inebriated.”
Clearly!
It’s too bad we can’t banner from the post, because that was pithy and perfect!
Guys… Chili on pasta? I highly recommend you never bring that around here.
But I do still like the Big Turk bar.
Looks like the Krakheads are going to Colorado for found 1. Kings are going to Edmonton unless Krakheads beat Vegas in regulation.
And Anaheim has the inside track to the #1 pick.
I’m late to the party, but what’s the bowel situation post skyline chili?
You should follow BC Dick’s OnlyFans account. There’s LOTS of content.
This didn’t even make the cut. It was pretty tame bowel-wise. Litre was cooking so I couldn’t add the Mega Colon-Blo. Or the GHB.
That was pretty Damn good actually. I thought the chili cheese dog variety would have been great but had to go with whatever was suggested on the cab first.
We will triple the cheese at least on those bad boys. Gotta have that cheesy wiener.
I enjoyed my Cincinnati chili experience but then again I made the chili from scratch.
Tell you what, I’ll try the can of chili and make a post out of it.
I ain’t scared.
Yes. Yes you do need that weiner. Glad yinz survived, I was getting worried when you disappeared all week!
Costco recently added gyros to their deli section. This is a summary of my review:
🤢🤮
Ayo getting a 5-on-3. Houston remains completely unimpressed.
Adopted feral bunny update that no one requested:
He has learned to go to the top level of his cage using the ramps. Today is a big deal. The bunny’s intellect has surpassed that of our former Orange President.
BUNNY!
He’s so smol! I love him.
He was 2.2 oz when we found him. Dr. Mrs. LLL weighs him every morning, like he’s a patient. He’s now around 4.0 oz.
You guys saved his tiny bunny butt. He couldn’t have made it on his own.
I don’t know where our Satan’s jizz-related Kraken releaser sits, but, this has been a fun iceball match.
I had an unpleasantly clear view of that first howler.
Shoutout to Darren Dreger, a TSN host that has been absolutely jacked for about 15 years now. His face looks as though it’s going to explode. Don’t do steroids for multiple decades, kids.
Steroids made baseball fun, not this no-shift, timer crap. More ‘roids, less complaining!
How’s the Red Wings rebuild going? So glad you asked! In their last four games they’ve been out-scored 20-3. And yes, they did lose all those games.
The Sens over the last four games? They’ve only been out-scored 18-15. That’s what a real, quality rebuild looks like!
Suck hard for Bedard!
Final regular season version of Release the Kraken.
You going to Playoff games?
Of course – Ayo is a Krakhead for life!
You know it.
If TV crime shows are anything to go on, a lot of people get killed when they go out jogging. Seems like jogging is a really dangerous hobby that I should avoid at all costs.

I’m pretty sure it was Dave Attell that said joggers are the ones that find the dead bodies. You don’t find dead bodies eating ice cream in the bed watching porno.
I always thought it was dog walkers who find the bodies. The ice cream and porno thing does sound like a good idea though
Stolen from Dave Attell.
No bodies yet but I have seen some weird stuff out there in the early morning hours.
I can personally attest to that.
Ever walked through a double homicide scene just as the cops got there?
I advise against it.
According to all the early Law & Order episodes, you should also avoid going to any bar with an aloof bartender. “You know what, I do remember this guy, because he was with this lady who was obviously way out of his league and he ordered a whole bottle of our cheapest wine on the menu.”
Sadly I think it’s a concern for women. Running has given me good results and some cool stories. But a lady I work with had a bad stalking experience to the point where she is now only comfortable on a treadmill in the gym. So sad because outside is where running is fun.
Much easier to do when you’ve got real scenery instead of Sports Center or other people sweating on treadmills.

That is one cold lookin’ sandwich
Not a sandwich.
Oh Christ, run!
What if one were to fold it over?
You cheated yourself on the cheese.
If this new Cobra Commander kicks Cancer Ron to the curb…DFO totally expects Dok Zymm to throw her hat/yoga pants into the ring. Shit fire, I will even promise to attend her first match in charge.
Wait, so she is going to shit fire, as well!? That’s something people would pay to see.
Get the fire extinguishers ready! We are going to party hard!
Was trying to figure out on my drive home what I could have for dinner, and was planning to cobble together a meal out of various leftovers and snacks. Then I remembered that food delivery is a thing that exists. So I’ve got a cuban sandwich coming my way. Might have to break out the rum to celebrate.
That is a damn fine sandwich
I am going to get cucumbers thrown at me but I hate pickles in anything except by themselves. Pickle by itself? Hell yeah. In a sandwich, get out of here.
Everyone is allowed to have a few weird quirks
I hate pickles alone or on something. But cucumbers in salad are one of very favoUrite things.
So you’ll gladly deep-throat a pickle but you don’t want it between your buns?
Litre is a power top.
Savage.
Havana delivers to the west coast? I can’t get the pizza place that is 20 minutes away to deliver.
I mean, the restaurant is called Made In Havana, so it must be, right?
No one has ever fibbed when branding their business aside from Hooters promising to have owls with great big tits as waitresses so I think you’re right.
Keep in mind I have eaten Cow Balls
Pretty mean to refer to your brother-in-law like that publicly, regardless of cud-chewing tendencies.
Maybe some of our law talking folks can weigh in, because I am super confused about the recent court ruling overturning an FDA approval. Doesn’t FDA approval just mean that something is safe and effective enough to be sold in the US? That seems totally outside the legal realm, unless they can show something improper happened in the approval process, and even then they should probably just redo the process correctly.
It’s a real shitshow, no real basis in law other than “we are right-wing crazies and want to.”
I don’t have the link handy, but a former Scalia clerk wrote a couple of lengthy blog posts on just how nutty — and contrary to supposed conservative principles — this ruling is.
I’ll look for it!
It’s actually up to three posts now, as he’s done one on the 5th Circuit ruling on the stay. Here’s his Substack (edited because apparently I suck at links):

I’m going off what I’ve read on TPM.
Well, just about any government action or regulation is subject to some kind of judicial review.
But all you really need to know here is that this judge in Texas makes Samuel Alito look like a thoughtful moderate.
In fairness, most people who stumble into a chili parlor late at night due to a sudden craving for cheese coneys and a 3-way are also drunk and/or high.
3 way? Amateurs – Houston
“Excuse me, kind sir. Would you be so kind as to direct me to the nearest Chili Parlor? I’m feeling quite peckish at the present moment.”
-words never spoken in Cincy
I get the two coneys plus the bean mix burrito with cheese and onions. Stone cold sober.
I was reading the article and when I got to the part about copious amounts of weed? I stopped reading and smoked out, now I forgot what I was doing.
Like when you and Yeah Right are together and hijinx happens.
I find it helpful to twirl in circles when I have marijuana- induced amnesia. It doesn’t actually help me remember what I was doing, I just enjoy the sensation.
I am SO PLEASED to read this!!!
Tell me when you want more!
I used to get Cincinnati-style chili on the Fritos chili pie from the College Park location of the Hard Times Cafe. I liked it. I think some people aren’t used to those sorts of spices in a meat sauce nowadays, or maybe it’s just the appearance that’s off-putting.
It’s cause people hear chili and think real chili. When they get thin sauce, it looks off.
That makes sense. Looking at Wikipedia it seems it basically IS a meat sauce. I never had chili growing up so I didn’t have any expectations as to texture, although I was familiar with the beans debate.
The legend behind Cincy cinnamon chili is that the original creator was Greek. And that pastitsio beef layer tastes similar to cinnamon chili.
Cinnamon and cardamon flavors seem to be prevalent for Egyptian foods, like their chelo kabob. I am not a big fan.
Since yinz is a spoiled grape juice enthusiast, which vintage pruno paired least worst with that reheated can of baby poo?
Back in the day I would say box wine, but some places are making much better stuff nowadayz. We stuck to the beer, weed, hash and whiskey.
