The Great American Tailgate challenge has arrived, and Bengals fans now have the chance to prove what Cincinnati has been serving up for decades: Cincinnati chili dogs are the rightful kings of Queen City tailgating.
USA TODAY and the Pro Football Hall of Fame are teaming up for a nationwide celebration of the foods that define football culture across all 32 NFL cities – and Cincinnati's fan base is officially on the clock. This summer, fans nationwide will vote in a bracket-style tournament to determine America's Favorite Tailgating Food. Each team enters with one signature dish, and for the Bengals, nothing represents the city better than a chili‑topped coney loaded with shredded cheese. It's the flavor of home, the taste of tradition, and the dish that fuels game days from the Jungle to living rooms across Ohio. Every vote you cast helps Cincinnati advance through the bracket and also enters you into a giveaway for a $1,000 Pro Football Hall of Fame merchandise gift card. One lucky fan will walk away with the chance to load up on Hall of Fame gear, collectibles, and memorabilia. This contest is part of a larger national event in Canton celebrating the food culture of all 32 NFL cities. It's a showcase of regional pride, fan passion, and the traditions that make tailgating one of America's greatest rituals.
So rule the jungle, Bengals fans. Cast your vote, rep your city, and help Cincinnati chili dogs claw their way through the bracket. Bragging rights are on the line – and the city's tailgate legacy is ready to roar.
