Joe Burrow is coming around to the idea of Cincinnati’s famous Skyline Chili.
Or, at least it seems like the Bengals new quarterback is starting to embrace the idea of coming around to the chili, which is often served on top of a pile of spaghetti with a ton of shredded cheese or on a hot dog with a ton of shredded cheese.
Previously, the No. 1 overall 2020 NFL Draft pick expressed his distaste for all things related to Cincinnati-style chili — which, for what it’s worth, For The Win’s own review described it as “actually not bad” — and called it “trash” and “terrible” in a couple tweets over the years.
But it looks like he’s ready to reconsider.
Back in January after repeating his dislike for Skyline Chili, Burrow said he “might learn to like it, but we’ll see.” And after the Bengals drafted him Thursday night, he took that sentiment a step further according to multiple reports from a Zoom call with the media after he was drafted.
Per ESPN’s Bengals reporter Ben Baby:
Perhaps that’s the first thing Burrow should try when he arrives in Cincinnati.
