Kale salad sounds nice.

I default to a short rib anytime I see it on a menu. Filet risotto looks good too. Can’t go wrong with a steak and a loaded potato either.

Calamari or salmon app, beet and goat cheese salad, scallops risotto

I'll have the crab and roasted corn soup and the scallops rissoto.

And that is the first menu I've seen that has market price for beer.

This is how I’m leaning.

Your treat?

Going tomorrow, whatcha got?

That menu is Greek diner-esque.

Bulgogi burrito, falafel cone, sticky sesame cauliflower, brown butter scallops

Baja Shrimp and Scallop Burrito, and I'll split the crab cake BLT with someone.

Potato soup is underrated.

One of my kids will eat it, and I can prepare it on a week night, which is enough to make it a regular winter meal.

Just tried Skyline for the first time. Not bad on a coney.

It's great stuff...nectar of the Gods. My only complaint about living in Colorado is not having any of the restaurants.

Skyline's good if you don't get it on spaghetti because that's just psychopath stuff right there.

First tridents, now this. It’s like I don’t even know you guys anymore.

I much prefer gold star and don’t mind it on the spaghetti. I don’t consider that form a real chili mind you. Nowhere near meaty enough for that but I enjoy it on the odd occasion.

Is chili on pasta all that far removed from meat sauce?

Yeah, I don't get that objection at all. I've never had Skyline, but "it's on top of spaghetti" would be much less of a deterrent than "it looks like diarrhea."

Those words don't make any sense. Gold Star is the LA Clippers of Cincinnati chili restaurants.

HOT TAKE ALERT

I think skyline has way too much cinnamon.

What surprised me the most was the great conversation with the manager and waitress. It was obvious I'd never been there, so we started talking about how it compares to Texas chili which led to a discussion about other regional foods. He gave me an interesting lesson on the origins of Cincinnati chili. Apparently Skyline is a Greek recipe while Gold Star is Arabic.

Didn't know that bit about Gold Star, but I know Skyline was started by a Greek family. The flavors in Skyline are similar to the meat sauce in moussaka, which is a traditional Greek casserole with potatoes or eggplant.

No, but I've heard tell. My jam is Yia Yia in College Park, though I usually get a gyro platter.

It is two shoulders wide place you walk into and order and leave. For $10 you get about 5000 calories of delciousness. Pistacio is my favorite but have never had anything bad. They throw in a half roll of sour dough, orzo, and green beans. Line can be long but it moves like the soup nazi from Seinfeld.
