I think a Skyline Chili franchise would do really well in TV.

Of course, that would mean a big investment in franchise fees. But if you are an experienced restaurant owner and at a point where you could make, or would want to make, that kind of investment, it might be worth at least looking into Skyline Chili.

Anyone from Cincinnati knows about our city's addiction to 3-ways, 4-ways, and 5-ways, sometimes with a cheese coney.

There are those who are new to Cincinnati and mock our chili -- for a while -- but if they try it, they get hooked, too. In fact, I know one who mocked when he arrived in town, but now his local Skyline knows his order before he gives it to them. HAH!

Also, Skyline will give you a bib if you want one. Offering a bib is not an insult. It is helpful......Let's say, for instance, you have escaped the downtown P&G offices for a Skyline fix and you don't want to show up at an afternoon meeting with chili on your front.

Now, I must warn you......Sometimes, especially lately, TOTV threads can turn a bit ugly, and there is a small chance that there could be a Cincinnatian reading this who thinks Gold Star chili is better than Skyline and will challenge my advice........Do NOT listen to such foolishness. I know I won't.

There are a few Skylines in Florida, on the coast. I really do think a Skyline in TV, run right, could be a big hit. Might want to do a little homework on what it would take........I could be your consultant. Or pass out bibs and oyster crackers and memorize the regulars' orders.
