Dining and Food >Empress Chili

Empress Chili

Though the original downtown location closed long ago, you can still get the tasty, spicy stew at three out-lying parlors. You'll find plenty of regulars here-people who long ago found that their favorite local chili is Empress-the first one.

If you're a fan of Cincinnati-style chili, then you've got to try Empress-the original Cincinnati chili. Try the coneys, three-ways or a sandwich.
