Arkansas Bengal Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 On Russell Wilson's to-do list in native Cincinnati? White Castle, Skyline Chili Play Coley Harvey, ESPN Staff Writer CINCINNATI -- If Russell Wilson has his way, the trip to his native Queen City this weekend will be one part business, one part feasting. "The Nasty 'Nati," the Seattle Seahawks quarterback said Wednesday, laughing as he opened his conference call with Cincinnati Bengals reporters. "I haven't had a chance to go lately, but I'm excited to hopefully get some White Castles and Skyline Chili." Fast food chains White Castle and Skyline Chili are two of the region's more iconic after-hours eating establishments. People born in and around Cincinnati, like Wilson, swear by both. Next to Pete Rose's record-setting 4,192nd career hit, Skyline's three-way and four-way are the most important numbers to those who call Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky home. Born in Cincinnati's Christ Hospital, Wilson spent very little time in the area before his family moved to Virginia. When he steps foot inside Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday, he will be playing in Cincinnati for the first time in his life. Although he did play the Cincinnati Bearcats once in college, that was a home game for the North Carolina State Wolfpack that Wilson quarterbacked for three years before his only year at Wisconsin. Wilson said he knew there would be some nostalgia when the Seattle Seahawks landed in the region this weekend. "We would go back up there every year a few times a year, so ... I used to love watching the Cincinnati Reds," Wilson said. "My dad always used to talk about the Bengals even though he was a huge Chargers fan. Anthony Munoz and guys like that. There's a bunch of memories watching them play. Growing up I used to love their jerseys. "Like I said, I have very fond memories." The last time the Bengals and Seahawks met was in 2011, one year before Wilson was drafted by Seattle. http://espn.go.com/blog/cincinnati-bengals/post/_/id/19455/russell-wilson-cincinnati-bengals-seahawks-skyline-white-castle-to-do-list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanvilleBengal Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 I did not know he was born in Cincy.That's a surprise to me as well, since all the time Wilson is mentioned, the general fuzzy is that he's a native of Richmond, the same place where some of my family lives. And then since he was coming from Richmond, it made sense that he went to college at NC State in Raleigh, NC before he transferred to Wisconsin.

T-Dub Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Skyline I can kinda understand even though there are better chili places IMO.. White Castle makes no sense to me at all. Soggy mule meat that looks like it was scraped off the bottom of a shoe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Do they still make Little Kings? PBR was infamous for causing major stomach distress in many different ways. Now I understand its the preferred trendy beer of hipsters and millennials. The horror... the horror. On a personal note... I do not drink at all. However, no problem with those who do, just I choose not to.BTW, my inside sources tell me the trash thrown on Carson Palmer's lawn was two empty sacks of White Castles and the little boxes and a dozen PBR cans and a few quart bottles. This was done by a bunch of Norwood hoods basing mailboxes in the area with baseball bats and egging Beamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Not sure why PBR became a hipster fave but I drank plenty in high school without any distress. Burger and Schoenling were still around then too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 PBR was my grandfather's beer of choice for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|SF2| Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 PBR was my dad's beer. We were more refined and drank the exotic French beer, Goebel as teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Not sure why PBR became a hipster fave It's part of the facade; most hipsters come from middle to upper-class backgrounds so it's a conspicuous way of appearing to rebel against that without having to actually sacrifice any of the real benefits. Also, forcing yourself to appear to like things that really suck is considered ironic, and being ironic is the pinnacle of achievement for the hipster. Ever heard of the series "Nathan Barley"? It was only 6 episodes but you might find it helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleEarl Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Honestly, all the mass produced American beers are all pretty much swill, but I still drink them. I've been drinking PBR, Busch, Keystone, or whatever is cheap for years. I'm not one to turn my nose up at a $2 pounder at a bar. I guess the hipsters have done something positive...Craft beer guy can now rip in to me. I like that stuff too, but more than a couple messes with ya.
