Cincinnati chili has a famous home in Camp Washington. In 1985, Camp Washington Chili, earned a reputation for the best-rated chili in the nation, thanks to the CBS Morning News. This is the place to order a "three-way" with spaghetti on the bottom, chili in the middle and cheese on top. Camp Washington Chili's recipe is of course top secret. Cincinnati is the nation's chili capital, boasting America's largest number of chili parlors per capita.
