Well, you learn how to appreciate it more over time, which is highly rewarding. The place the analogy breaks down is that Skyline is hyper-consistent. They never have a down day! It’s not like Goldstar Chili is going to be better one random week. That would be absurd!

Plus LOTS of cheese! (Did we just describe the Packers, this season? Not meeting expectations plus lots of cheese?)

…understand the hype the first time I tried it. I was confused. “You call this chili?” But six months later, I woke up in a cold sweat craving it. I even had it for dinner just last night. Once you acquire a taste for it, it slaps SO hard. I get why folks bag on it; it isn’t what they expect.

If Skyline didn’t call itself chili, it would avoid a LOT of confusion. Most people think of Texas-style chili when they hear the word, even though Greek-style chili (like Skyline) is also a thing. But it’s very different, from the flavor profile to the consistency and so on. Honestly, I didn’t…

This game needs to be commentated by Werner Herzog
