About this business

Empress Chili was the first company to serve Greek Chili and Coneys in Cincinnati. Tom and John Kiradjeff came to the United States from Greece and opened a hotdog stand next to the Empress Theater in 1922. Eventually, the hot dog stand evolved into Empress Chili, and we have been serving quality secret-recipe chili ever since.
