More than 100 years after the invention of Cincinnati-style chili, a week-long event will now honor our longstanding three-way and cheese coney heritage.
The inaugural Cincinnati Chili Week, hosted by Cincinnati CityBeat, will take place Feb. 19-25. Similar to CityBeat’s Burger Week and Asian Cuisine Week, restaurants around town will offer specials and lower prices as part of the festivities, including $5-$7 deals on certain menu items.
