25 Sep
Summary
- Joe Burrow expressed strong dislike for Cincinnati chili.
- He has publicly voiced his negative opinions multiple times.
- Fellow Bengals players also dislike the regional dish.
Cincinnati Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow has publicly reiterated his strong aversion to the city's famed chili. During a recent appearance on "The Gronk & Jules Show," Burrow stated he "doesn't like either of them really," referring to Skyline and Gold Star Chili. He recalled disliking Skyline as a child and has avoided it since. Burrow's disdain for Cincinnati-style chili has been a recurring theme. In a 2020 podcast interview, he called it "just sauce" and not authentic chili. His past social media activity also includes a tweet calling Skyline "terrible."
Burrow is not alone in his culinary critique among the Bengals. Wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins also shared their dislike for the dish on Chase's podcast, "Chasing No 1," earlier this month. Skyline Chili, founded in 1949, and Gold Star Chili, established in 1965, are both prominent fast-food chains in the Greater Cincinnati area, known for their distinct versions of Cincinnati-style chili, including popular "ways" and "coneys."
