Camp Washington Chili is a Cincinnati chili parlor founded in 1940 by Steve Andon and Fred Zarnbus in the neighborhood of Camp Washington, near downtown Cincinnati, in southwestern Ohio. A well known Cincinnati landmark,[1] the parlor is located at 3005 Colerain Avenue, and the current owner is the Greek-born John Johnson. The restaurant left its old location and moved to a site a few lots away in 2000, after being told to vacate by the city in order to widen Hopple Street.[2] Their new location is modeled after a 1950s-style diner. The restaurant is open 24 hours a day every day but Sunday.
In 2011, Camp Washington Chili was featured on a Cincinnati episode of the Travel Channel's Man v. Food Nation.
