Very confused by these two statements. Real chili should be from South or West Texas. "Mexican food" as that term is commonly used, is best in San Antonio. If you go too far west, it starts to get all weird.
East Texas doesn't have great specialties, except for fried turkey, really dark tea, and hamburgers with lots of mayo and grilled onions. I prefer my West Texas roots.

It's what we grow up with that we think is best.
I've had Mexican food all over the country (not to mention Mexico) and I'll take the stuff from some of the dives down on Federal Blvd. over it any day of the week.
Same with Italian.
Growing up in Denver's Little Italy (north Denver, now Little Mexico), I feel I've had some of the best, authentic Italian food there is, but I've had NY snobs tell me no.
Whatever.
I've also eaten BBQ all over this great nation, and the BEST BBQ I've EVER had was in this little hole-in-the-wall in New Ellenton, SC. (The Blue Moon BBQ in Kentucky (Paducah?) is second.) Yeah, that means I think it's better than Texas style.
Folks, it all boils down to what you like.

I know, I know.
And it's hypocritical of me to talk about these egg rolls at this one little place in Texas that are so good, but still, "Cinncinati style Chili"? I'm reminded of the Pace Picante sauce (known simply as "hot sauce" to me) commercial where the cowboys on the trail find out that Cookie is using some other brand on their food.
says the cowboy looking at the jar:
"This stuff's made in New York City!"
says the other cowboy looking menacingly at the cookie:
"Get a Rope."
