A question from a neophyte: I recently ate at a Steak and Shake in Grapevine, TX and tried a cup of their chili. I saw on the menu they served it something like Cincinnati style, but I couldn’t eat that much along with my burger. Not bad stuff; certainly better than Burger King or Wendy’s chili. Does this stuff compare to the stuff from Skyline, Empress, etc. Taste in the same ball park or something completely different????

Steak n Shake chili, at least in Illinois, is NOT "Cincinnati flavor" chili…..no cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, etc. It is a mild "Texas flavor" chili with sauce, meat, beans, spaghetti, cheese, and onions if you wish.
