“I’ll have the three way with fuh-jy-tuhs.”
“What do you mean that’s not how you say it?”
first?
First on a not-Engrish. This is more of a fail than a translation error. And, as all of the Cinncinati people keep ranting about- it’s an actual food. Though, I’m from the Midwest, and I’ve never heard of it before.
I’m from the Midwest too, and I want a three way!
Engrish Fail. This is not Engrish. I’ll take the $6.00 Three Way, though.
Yeah I… I think I’ll be having fajitas. No, really, I’m fine… just the fajitas.
And what food is it talking about though? Fajitas, burrito and enchilada plate? I’m so confused!
This site has pretty much petered out. I mean this, the Gangsta Coloring Book, etc are not Engrish. These were used for amusement; they knew exactly what the “3-way” would imply, its for attention. I’m kinda thinking this board was a waste of time.
board =/= bored
._.
This would be funnier if I wasn’t from Cincinnati.
same here.
Me three.
Me three.
me three way?
For those of you NOT from the midwest, ‘three way’ describes a style of midwestern ‘chili,’ to use the term loosely. In the midwest, chili is more of a meat sauce, not to spicy, sometimes with cinnamon in it. A three way is this so-called ‘chili’ on top of spaghetti, topped with grated cheese. I will now pause a moment for my fellow southwesterners to stop laughing. Yes, seriously, they put cinnamon and chili powder in spaghetti sauce, throw it on top of some noodles, top it with cheese, and call it chili. It is not chili, but surprisingly, it is delicious.
Cinnamon in it.
On noodles.
And I thought it was wrong to put beans in it.
Can anyone NOT from Cincy verify that this is a “midwestern” food? I’ve never seen it outside Cincinnati.
Well, that depends on what you mean by “not Cincy.” I mean, Skyline has had restaurants as far away as Bowling Green, OH which is just south of Toledo (although the one here closed about a year ago because there weren’t enough of us SW Ohio folks to keep it afloat apparently). And I know of at least one Gold Star as far South as Lexington.
So, the general Cincinnati area, radiating out for a few hundred miles, but yes, it is certainly not common throughout the entire Midwest.
Panda-I’m from Chi-town and we have six dollar three-ways here, too.
That’s not too bad at all ;D
Yeah, I didn’t think it was that funny either… It just made me want Gold Star…
Not sure about the cinnamon in chili but I know a number of people who put it in lasagna, so I’m not surprised to see it.
Actually, eating a cinnamon roll with your chili is absolutely delicious.
I’d be curious what it’s like in the chili and on top of spaghetti though.
No one in Cincinnati in any way considers Cinci chili the same thing as chili chili.
Cincinnati chili is of Greek origin, and is only related to southwestern chili in that both have beef in it and they are roughly the same color. And thick-soupy.
You can also have a 4-way and a 5-way, if you’re a real hedonist (beans & onions).
Same. I see no problem with this sign. My husband, however, is not from Cincy and when we were dating I remember his reaction the first time I told him I missed having GSC 3-ways.
Kinda like when I told my now-wife (who was not from the New England-that-borders Quebec) that I wanted to drive to Canada for some poutine.
(She first thought it was some variant of “Poontang”. It’s french fries, cheddar cheese curds, and brown gravy: a French-Canadian specialty.)
Yeah, the variant of poontang she was thinking of was putain…
My thoughts exactly.
Ahh, Cincy. The only place where you can play with your friend’s cornhole and ask a waitress for a three-way and not get slapped or arrested.
WIN!!!!!
I’m soooooo putting that quote on my myspace page. OMG.
Three ways are only $6 in Cincinnati?
i’ll go to the Three way!
Do we get our choice of meat with the three-way?
True, would be funnier if it weren’t an actual menu item in the midwest.
Can I eat Fajitas while having a three way?
No, but you can have two tacos
ha cha cha cha cha
I’d rather have two wet burritos.
“Where’s the head!?” Or the Engrish.
What makes all this worse is the drawing at the bottom that looks like a flaming butt.
*gah*
Where is this place? I want a three way for six dollars! ;D Though I want to see if they look good first… lol
Engrish fail.
One of each please!
You know you’re from Cincy when your husband/boyfriend tells you that he wants a 3-way tonight and the only argument that ensures is whether you go to GSC or Skyline.
mmmm…. this is making me hungry! Only 2 months a 5 days until I go back to Cincy for a visit. I live in the Engrish capital of the world- Japan.
wait a minute… does your husband work in Kawagoe? i think i know who you are!
Nope. We are in Naha, Okinawa.
It would be more funny if I knew what the hell the three way was supposed to be?!?!?!? Grammar or grammer error?

I from Germany, and this is funny. Very funny, this site is not funny most of the time but now that you have America joke, you CANT TAKE IT. What happened to laugh because its funny? I’m laughing hahahahahahaahahahahaha.
i don’t think it’s that we can’t take it… i laugh at myself/my country all the time… i think we just lack seeing the joke at all as the first thing that comes to mind when someone says 3-way in a food context, is the spaghetti/chili/cheese combo we know as a 3-way.
it’s a bit different than a sign that clearly has screwed up english beyond any sort of recognizable sentence or phrase such as the “Please advice us if you live before the breakfast.” sign
IF you’re from the midwest. I’m an American (east coast) and had no idea a 3-way ever meant food. It’s like the people who knew “Hell” was a town’s name.
Their is a town named “Hell” in almost every state. It is a fairly common town name.
Sigh… ok so I lied. Michigan is the only state that has a town named Hell. I just didn’t want to feel bad that I was living in the state of Hell.
Well, ask anyone from Columbus, and they’ll surely agree with you.
Go Buckeyes!
Hell is accually an unincorperated community within another town.
Don’t feel too bad - we also have Paradise.
Yup, I’m from Michigan. Hell, Christmas, whichever ya know?
I’m in Michigan and have never heard of a food three way. A spaghetti/chili/cheese combo? What all mixed together? Yuck. Sounds almost as bad as pairing waffles and chicken.
Sounds like you’re overdue for the 4-hour pilgrimage to King’s Island.
Chicken and waffles are pretty good actually. its not like you wrap the chicken in the waffle and dip it into the syrup (although you can).
I’ll have what she’s having.
I think all of us need to stop trying to highbrow one-up each other. Next thing you know someone will be saying “pish posh” and then I’ll have to kill them.
