This recipe is almost a family legend. Mom got the recipe from a friend of hers, and she has passed it on to many, many people who enjoyed the dish when visiting my parents. Since my father is a hunter, my family makes this with venison instead of beef.

Cincinnati Style Chili

We’re still perfecting this recipe, but so far we like the results. My husband spent a number of years in Ohio, and he thinks this is pretty darn good. The first time I tasted a Cincinnati style chili, I was ecstatic. It tasted exactly like the hot dog chili we used to get at the Roanoke Market when I was a little girl. I guess that hot dog vendor must have spent some time in Ohio.
You need to allow 3-1/2 to 4 hours to make the chili. If possible, make it the day before and then warm it up (it’s even better that way). Or if you are absolutely craving a 5-Way, use a very lean beef and make it the same day, just make sure you start early.

Bulgogi

I fell in love with bulgogi when I lived in Saipan and though I could get it at every Korean restaurant on the island, I wanted to learn to make it myself. So I approached the mother of one of my Korean students and asked for her bulgogi recipe, but instead of sending the recipe she sent me about five pounds of marinated bulgogi meat! So either my request didn’t translated well or she felt that a gift of bulgogi was more significant than just the recipe. After a few more requests I finally managed to get the recipe, but Mrs. Kim continued sending me her marinated meat just about every month for the rest of the school year.
