Joe Burrow on Skyline Chili: 'Cincinnati's gonna hate me - I hate that stuff'
If you're keeping score at home of who likes Skyline Chili and who doesn't ...
Count Heisman Trophy winner, LSU star quarterback and national champion Joe Burrow - the former Athens High School standout many expect the Cincinnati Bengals to select with the top overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft - among celebrities and sports figures who don't care for it.
Burrow talked about it recently during an interview with the Pardon My Take podcast on Barstool Sports:
"Oh, God. I hate it. Cincinnati's gonna hate me - I hate that stuff," Burrow said. "It's not real chili. It's just sauce. I mean, they've hated me for a while because I've had these takes since like I first got to Ohio State. And they're like, 'What do you mean? You're from Ohio!' and I'm like, 'Doesn't matter. I hate it.'"
And some have brought up a tweet from Burrow from nearly two years ago in which he expressed his true feelings about Skyline:
Former Bengals defensive back George Iloka, who shared Burrow's old tweet, has insisted on many occasions that he doesn't understand why Cincinnati-style chili is so popular in the Queen City.
Skyline Chili took the high road, congratulating Burrow in a tweet:
