Personal Notes:
As the name indicates, this is the signature dish of Cincinnati, Ohio. When I worked for the railroad, I traveled to Cincinnati on business many times. We had a huge rail yard there (Queensgate Yard) and it was one of the largest and busiest yards on our system. It was also located near a section of Cincinnati called Fort Washington. A few minutes from the yard was a restaurant called Fort Washington Chili. We always eat lunch there. They only served chili and always over spaghetti noodles. The 1-Way was chili over pasta. The 2-Way was chili with beans over pasta. The 3-Way was chili over pasta with beans and shredded cheese. The 4-Way was chili over pasta with beans, onions and shredded cheese. And on and on. This is similar to Jim's spaghetti sauce, but the spices give it a unique flavor, especially the cinnamon.
