Joe Burrow is a quirky, cool dude with a great arm and swagger to go with it, and Thursday night, he became the No. 1 overall 2020 NFL Draft pick when the Cincinnati Bengals selected him first in the virtual event. But the 23-year-old quarterback has a smoking hot take specifically related to food and his new city.
This is your reminder that Joe Burrow hates Skyline Chili. And he’s well aware that people in Cincinnati might end up hating him right back for this.
Skyline Chili is a Cincinnati favorite from the restaurant of the same name and is often served over a heaping mountain of spaghetti and topped with an obscene amount of shredded cheese or on a hot dog and topped with an obscene amount of shredded cheese.
For The Win’s own review of Cincinnati-style chili in 2015 described it as “actually not bad.”
However, Burrow — who went to high school in Ohio — is not a fan. And he’s said and tweeted exactly that multiple times over the last few years. (As far as For The Win’s search can tell, these are Burrow’s only existing tweets about Skyline Chili.)
But after reiterating how much Burrow hates Skyline Chili, he also said in January that he “might learn to like it, but we’ll see.”
Skyline itself doesn’t seem to care and was, at least a few months ago, ready to welcome Burrow to town. That’s probably still true now that he’s officially the No. 1 overall pick.
