If you like mole (pronounced mo-lay) sauce, you’ll like Cincy chili.
That is not chili....
It’s cultural appropriation and dishonest....
... mole ...

That’s what it sounds like to me, as well. Although the spices sound like moussaka.
I make a chilies/cumin/tomato/beef chili and have added dark chocolate as well as coffee, at times. It deepens the flavor.
Also offer sharp cheddar as a topping.
And, as a Yankee, I add beans. Once had a Mexican woman as a dinner guest and she pronounced it the “best frijoles” she’d ever had. She went into detail about mole culture in Mexican cuisine. Very individualized and competitive.
