RIP John Madden

this would be a cool story if it wasn't skyline chili...wife's family is from Cincy....I tried it....ONCE...that was enough. I think I'd rather have the snails

I rag on Skyline often, but honestly, for comfort food it's not god-awful, it's simply not chili. If you go into Skyline thinking more along the lines of you're having a deconstructed Greek pastitsio with beans and cheddar, then you won't be as disgusted.

And snails get a bad rap. Always loved escargot, and when I dated a girl from Woonsocket, there was a restaurant there we loved called The Bijou that served a salad with raw snails on it that I actually enjoyed. Chewy suckers, but surprisingly tasty.

As I've reported here before, I made "Cincinnati-syle" beef chili from a Blue Apron recipe and it was pretty darned good. It was the only time I've ever had it:

Cincinnati-Style Beef Chili with Spaghetti & White Cheddar Cheese

You’ll celebrate a Cincinnati specialty by cooking up beef chili with warm spices like cumin, coriander, and cinnamon. In classic, crowd-pleasing fashion, the saucy chili is served over a bed of spaghetti and garnished with cheddar cheese.

Saw Belichick comments… “when John spoke, you listened”, didn’t matter what it was about. Respect.

It was as if he wasn't even trying to be funny, and he was a blast.
