In doing my research for Tailgate Fan over these many weeks, I’ve picked up a human lifetime worth of mind-melting merits on the cities we visit.

1. Cincinnati is the chili capital of the world, namely because its residents eat over 2 million pounds of chili every year and over 850,000 pounds of shredded cheese!
Which also makes it the unofficial toilet paper capital of the world!

2. Did you know Cincy is located at the confluence of the Ohio and Licking River?
