Overview
- Jim Day, the Reds sideline reporter, tried the Skyline Chili–inspired egg roll during the series finale and after a puzzled first bite said, “This is the lowest point of my career,” while colleagues John Sadak and Jeff Brantley laughed uncontrollably.
- The on-air moment, recorded on Wednesday night, quickly circulated online and is now the primary driver of media attention around the promotion.
- Citi Field is selling the item as part of its season‑long Wok 'N' Roll: Cities to Citi Field series, which offers visiting teams' regional dishes to fans at the ballpark.
- Reports describe the egg roll as a non‑official Skyline reinterpretation that mixes chili, spaghetti and cheddar rather than the chain’s standard recipe, and no formal statement from Skyline or the promotion operator has been reported.
- Skyline Chili is a Cincinnati institution with more than 100 locations, and this episode shows how ballpark reinterpretations of local foods can create viral moments and spark discussion about authenticity and fan expectations.
