Gooder Than Hell!

Life can be a bit much at times. As someone famous said, the world is always too much with us, and sometimes more than that – sometimes it’s sitting squarely on top of us, wriggling, pressing down with all of its enormity.

But then, there are things like this to relieve the pressure and make you glad to be alive once more. The Skyline Chili coney is a miniature hot dog, doused with the Cincinnati-style chili (secret ingredient: cinnamon) and loaded with shredded cheese. It’s small, so you can easily eat three of them.

When you sit down, they bring you a bowl of oyster crackers; there’s hot sauce on the table, and cold beer in the fridge. I’m telling you, this place is Walden for the 21st century.

Skyline only operates in four states – if yours isn’t one of them, it’s totally worth a road trip.
