U.S. vice presidential candidate JD Vance commented on the rumored collaboration between Graeter’s and Skyline Chili to create a unique ice cream flavor that includes chili spices, oyster crackers, and cheese. Vance, who has a home in Cincinnati, vowed to stop this flavor creation with President Trump. However, it was clarified that the listing for “Graeter’s Skyline Chili Ice Cream Pint” was just concept art and not in production. Skyline Chili confirmed they are working on a collaboration with Graeter’s, but the actual flavor is still in the research and development phase.
Skyline Chili is a restaurant chain known for its local chili dish originating in Cincinnati, Ohio, with over 150 locations in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and Florida. Graeter’s Ice Cream is a Cincinnati-based chain founded in 1870 with over 50 retail locations and distribution in thousands of grocery stores nationwide. In 2019, Graeter’s introduced a Kentucky Derby-inspired flavor, brown butter bourbon pecan, which combined bourbon-glazed pecan pieces with brown butter bourbon ice cream.
Overall, the collaboration between Graeter’s and Skyline Chili to create an unusual ice cream flavor has sparked interest and controversy, with Vance expressing opposition to the concept. However, it was clarified that the flavor is still in development, and the actual product is not yet available for purchase.
