Notes

Although chili has been recognized is as a Texan dish, Cincinnati has a reputation for it. Only Some Greek cook adapted the traditional Texan recipe adding flavors from the Mediterranean region. The chili is traditionally served over pasta or over a hot dog.
It has become the local fast food and there are restaurant chains in the area specializing in this kind of chili. You'll hear talk of one, two, three or more ways meaning a bowl of chili only, chili over pasta, chili over pasta topped with cheese, and sliced onions, extra beans, and others for four, five or six-way.

Cincinnati chili ways

One-way: chili on its own, which nobody orders as its consistency is better as pouring sauce.

Two-way: chili over pasta.

Three-way: chili over pasta, topped with gratted cheddar cheese. "Inverted" if the cheese is placed under the chili sauce so it melts.

Four-way: add either red kidney beans or chopped whit onions to the three-way.

Five-way: With both, red kidney beans and chopped onions.

There is usually a vegetarian option with rice and beans instead of beef and beans.
