Tell Us Now: What Ungodly Local Cuisine Is Your Town Known For?

We’ve all got to eat. What is life without a little refreshment anyway? Unfortunately, some people can’t just leave well enough alone. It’s alright if not every dish is delicious, but to intentionally create something horrible? We’ve covered and tested some of the worst recipes of all time. We’ve even looked into the dark behind the scenes aspects of some of the most common foods. Surprise, olive loaf is disgusting.

In this deep dive we cover Cincinnati Chili, which (somehow) involves boiled (?) ground beef, cinnamon, chocolate and unseasoned spaghetti. Perhaps most insulting is that all of those ingredients could be delicious in nearly any other combination.

My name is Lance Axehammer, and I am a food detective. I travel all around the world investigating the worst crimes against flavor mankind can dream of. This week I asked the Cracked fans on Facebook to tell me which ungodly local cuisines I should investigate next. Below you will find my case debriefings on what I discovered, so take an omeprazole and buckle in.
