Behold the warm, rosy-red grilled frank topped with mustard, nestled in a black-speckled poppy seed bun, flanked by half wagon wheel slices of tomato, Day-Glo green relish, chopped onion, a wedge of pickle, two sport peppers, and finished with a sprinkle of celery salt.

Cincinnati is known for Chili served on spaghetti or over a hot dog. While I don't have the exact recipe of the chili that is in a Four-way plate (spaghetti, chili, onions, cheddar cheese.) I can point you in the right direction with a generic Homemade Meat and Bean Chili recipe.
