A Bit of History
Camp Washington Chili first opened its doors in 1940. It was started by two people named Steve Andon and Fred Zannbus. For many years, it served delicious chili to people in Cincinnati. In 2000, the restaurant had to move. The city needed its old spot to make Hopple Street wider. So, Camp Washington Chili moved just a few lots away. Its new building looks like a classic 1950s-style diner. Today, the owner is John Johnson, who is from Greece.
