When Cincinnati-style and/or Skyline Chili is trending on Twitter and people are sharing their opinions about the food most often associated with the Queen City, there's a good chance someone else dragged it.

CBS Sports soccer analyst Grant Wahl - in Cincinnati for the United States Men's National Team's World Cup qualifying match against Mexico at TQL Stadium on Friday night - shared earlier in the week via Twitter that he's "not a big Skyline Chili fan."

But his opinion of Skyline was much stronger than that during an appearance on the "Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz," as he called it "the worst food associated with a city that I have ever experienced" and added that "it's terrible."

In July, SportsNet New York play-by-play announcer Gary Cohen referred to Skyline during a Mets-Reds broadcast as "disgusting chili gravy ... supposed to be food that you actually eat."
