snip-"A Norwood doughnut shop has a new pastry to fuel your next Cincinnati Bengals tailgate.

This week, Starlight Doughnut Lab introduced its new Chili Dip Doughnut. Filled with chili dip made with Skyline Chili, the brioche pastry is also stuffed with freshly grated cheddar cheese and topped with diced onion and more cheese.

The innovative doughnut was inspired by popular tailgating and watch party foods now that the NFL season is underway, co-owner Ben Greiwe told The Enquirer. For now, the doughnut will be available at Starlight on Sundays through September.

Store owners are hoping to make the Skyline Chili collaboration official and offer the doughnut on Sundays throughout the entire football season. Greiwe said they have reached out to Skyline about a partnership."

2. I have put canned chili on baked potatoes, that photo is what it looked like

(but not Skyline)

On further thought, b/c Skyline has cinnamon on it, maybe that chili on a baked sweet potato?

[unweird]

3. Be afraid when they add noodles to it

Be very, very afraid.

4. I've read that ppl put it on spaghetti.

6. Yup. With onion, cheese and

Oyster crackers, too. Lots of recipes out there. Still looking for the right one.

9. I do that

On nights when I’m even too tired to deal with takeout. A good brand of canned chili on spaghetti with hot sauce and grated cheese on top. There are worse things to eat.

15. What a novel idea!

18. Brings back memories of childhood

and not particularly pleasant ones. My mother hated to cook and was not a good cook - I think the two are related: she used to serve Chef Boyardee canned ravioli, which I remember as vile. I didn't realize ravioli could actually be tasty until I had some fresh, non-canned ones in my 30s.

5. We love us some Skyline.

That sounds absolutely delicious.

7. You notice I got the 3C reference in? Also this

10. Chili, cheese and cheese?

I like to think of Skyline chili as open-faced Greek pastitsio. It's funny that some who hate Skyline (it has cinnamon in it!) love pastitsio (it has cinnamon in it!). Basically the only difference is that pastitsio typically includes béchamel and, of course, a crust. Sounds like this invention closes the circle with cream cheese and a croissant.

I would order it without the onions, but otherwise YUM!

13. 3C in Ohio is Cincinnati, Columbus & Cleveland, all of these cities are on a long road

It is also a political shorthand, Cleveland is blue, Columbus (city is blue) area around is purple, Cincinnati is red.
And the chili cheese & food crimes

14. Ah...

I'm in Dayton. BTW, Cincy (Hamilton County, specifically) voted for Biden in 2020 by a margin of 57% to 41%. They've had Democratic Mayors for damned-near ever. It's surrounding counties that screw up the metro Cincy numbers. The same is true here, where we are surrounded by MAGA towns, cities and counties - all of which get lumped into the Greater Dayton count, making it appear that Dayton is purple. It ain't.

8. I'm not a fan of Skyline chili at all!

Mixing it with a donut surely just makes it worse!


It's a weird Cincinnati thing. Most other parts of Ohio aren't enamored with that chili.

11. Ew. No thanks.

I appreciate a little salty accent on some sweet things, but I do not like anything sweet brought into something savory. No marshmallows or brown sugar on sweet potatoes. No fruit sauce on meat. No fruit in an otherwise savory salad. Yecch.

12. I like donuts and Skyline Chili sounds good. No worse than

Pittsburgh's hamburger topped with fries and bad coleslaw.

16. Just reading the title hung up on a tonsil and gagged me

I'm afraid the description didn't make it any better, a squishy onion brioche stuffed with rat trap cheese and dunked in a Fryolator and graced with (shudder) midwestern chili.

It's right down there with the Krispy Kreme cheeseburger.

17. 🤣🤣🤣don't hold back Warpy
