Cincinnati Chili (3-Way, 4-Way, 4-Way Bean, or 5-Way) is a Greek based dish, not directly related to Texas Chili. And it is the food of the gods...

Cincinnati chili has so much in common with Mexico's molé that I've always wondered where its origin was.

My wife's uncle runs Empress Chili - passed down from his father that started it all in Cincinnati. I thought it was odd as well - until I had some! For a time I thought it would be interesting to open a franchise in Seattle - but not into that type of business, and wouldn't have the faintest idea how to get an “odd” type of dish started out here.

I do get a kick out of my wife though on which “way” is the best, and the order that the ingredients go on top of the spaghetti!
