Eater applauds Graeter's Skyline ice cream, says Travis Kelce can 'eat his words'
Travis Kelce was totally wrong for dissing Graeter's Skyline Chili-flavored ice cream, according to a national dining reporter. Amy McCarthy, a reporter for Eater, the national food and dining brand owned by Vox Media, admitted she was unsure about the new collaboration between the two Cincinnati brands, but ultimately gave a glowing review. She dubbed the treat "a dose of comforting nostalgia for a lifelong Cincinnatian" and "a fun way to introduce a total stranger to the magic of Skyline chili." "In the ice cream, I tasted allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon, maybe a little clove. That combo is, of course, also extremely popular in desserts and baked goods, and it makes total sense in a pint of ice cream," she wrote, noting there isn't actual chili in the treat. The Dallas-based food reporter identified a "quite pleasant" savory taste in the ice cream that keeps the treat from tasting too much like eggnog or cinnamon rolls. She also applauded the brands' use of the classic Skyline oyster crackers for a hint of saltiness that "somehow remained crispy despite being smothered in cream and frozen." McCarthy's review, published Wednesday, went on to criticize Kelce, a University of Cincinnati Bearcats alum, for writing off the Greater's/Skyline collab as "disgusting" in his "New Heights" podcast Wednesday. "Perhaps if the Chiefs win their record third consecutive Super Bowl, Travis Kelce ... will also be ready to eat his words and celebrate with a nice, cool bowl of Skyline chili ice cream," McCarthy wrote. The star Kansas City Chiefs tight end, who is a documented Cincinnati-style chili hater, said in Wednesday's podcast episode that there was no chance he would try the flavor. Meanwhile, his older brother, Jason Kelce, the retired Philadelphia Eagles great and fellow UC alum, said he's, "a sucker for these stupid new food item things," name checking Taco Bell's Doritos Locos Taco. According to McCarthy, though, Graeter's Skyline Spice ice cream sets itself apart from other brand collaborations. "There's a sense with a lot of these 'brand collabs' that they're just marketing stunts ... but that's not the case here." Skyline Spice is currently available in 5-ounce scoops at all Skyline restaurants. It is also available to purchase by the pint or by the scoop at all Graeter's scoop shops and by the pint at select Kroger stores throughout Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis and Louisville. Availability may vary by location, though, so it's always best to call your local store and/or restaurant ahead of time.

The Kelce Brothers Get Divisive Over New Skyline Chili Flavored Ice Cream
The Kelce brothers are known not only for their football skill, but also for the playful banter on their "New Heights" podcast. Their latest debate centers around an unconventional ice cream flavor: Skyline Spice from Graeter's Ice Cream. This unique combination takes the iconic flavors of Cincinnati's Skyline Chili and transforms them into an ice cream that's a bit out there, to put it gently, and very, very divisive. Jason Kelce is all in. He's a fan of Skyline Chili, and he's genuinely curious about how its signature spices translate into a frozen dessert. For Jason, it's not just about the novelty -- it's a chance to celebrate a local favorite in a completely unexpected way. Travis Kelce, however, isn't convinced. He's hesitant about the idea of combining chili spices with the sweetness of ice cream, and doesn't seem eager to give it a try ... at all. Their differing reactions have sparked plenty of conversation among fans, raising questions about whether this daring dessert is worth a scoop (like the well-received Kelce Brothers cereal mix). The first thing that comes to mind for folks may be something along the lines of: "We're fans of Skyline too! But ... really? In the ice cream?" Here's what makes this ice cream so unique, and why it's dividing opinions, even within the Kelce family. Read more: Once Popular Ice Cream Flavors You Hardly Ever See Anymore Skyline Spice ice cream takes the essence of Cincinnati's famous chili (known for its blend of sweet and savory spices as well as for being served with cheese, onions, and oyster crackers over spaghetti or hot dogs) and infuses it into a creamy dessert. This ice cream focuses on the spice mix, which includes cinnamon, nutmeg, and hints of cocoa. These flavors are blended into a sweet cream base, creating a dessert that's both familiar and surprising for fans of Skyline Chili. But that's not all. In addition to the unique spice mix, this ice cream is also studded with oyster crackers, which add a salty crunch to the creamy sweetness. Graeter's Ice Cream, another Cincinnati staple, is no stranger to bold flavor experiments. Their collaboration with Skyline Chili aims to capture the city's culinary spirit in a way that's playful and nostalgic. For some, this ice cream is a love letter to Cincinnati, but others aren't feeling the ode to the Queen City. The result is a flavor that challenges traditional dessert expectations. It's creamy, spiced, and sweet, with just enough of a chili kick to remind you of its roots. Whether or not you're a fan of Skyline chili, there's no doubt that what it might taste like has piqued your interest -- kudos to the marketing team over at Graeter's, they've got people talking for sure. I doubt it's going to become one of the most popular ice cream flavors in the U.S., but who knows? For more food and drink goodness, join The Takeout's newsletter.
