Cincinnati has a reputation for doing very bad things to otherwise delicious and commonplace foods. First off: the chili. You order chili there and the first thing you’ll be asked is if you’d like a three-way. It is safe to answer yes to this question, although you will be disappointed with the results. It is not safe to eat the chili because it’s not chili, it’s an abomination!

There’s a pizza place Cincinnati people swear by: LaRosa’s. Non-Cincinnati people get this pizza and say “What is with the sauce on this pizza? They laid it on so thick it’s gooping down my arm!” But here is where the outsider is wrong. The sauce is dellicious, the pizza is great, the critics are wrong. LaRosa’s is the very best pizza.
