Yeah, I do sort of a Cincinatti style to help stretch leftovers.  By that I mean just basically serving the chili over pasta; I don't cook the chili in correct Cincinatti way.  It helps to keep the pasta pretty wet, e.g. don't drain it thoroughly, and finish it in a pan with the chili.  It has a tendancy to be too dry if you use regular chili, so you need to watch the moisture.  FWIW, I've also had some success with brown rice.

I too like to serve it over pasta, but don't care for the true Cincinnati-style chili flavor itself.

 I like it every once in a while as a change of pace.  Like I'll order it if I see it on a menu, which is pretty rare so I won't get it often.

Cincinnati style is the anal sex of chili.

It might be illegal to sell Cincinnati chili in Texas.  At the very least, you'd be charged with inciting a riot, not to mention major civil liability.
