The nice thing about Chili, is that it can be whatever the cook want's it to be. Like Barbecue, regional differences can be worlds apart but still fill the bill.
Now Cincinatti chili...them folks are reprobates!

Skyline chili in Cincinnati was something that I had to experience firsthand. Interesting concept, huge plate of food. The chili is very different, more like coney dog chili.with the spices amped up a bit. The spice mixture stays with you for a long time after the meal.

I looked up Skyline chili. Obama loves it, so there's that. It's got chocolate and cinnamon in it. That is a common flavor profile in central Mexico. I don't really care for it, nor do the stray dogs in Cuernavaca.

I use a bit of cocoa in mine, but nobody has ever detected it. A pint of Hamm's or Schlitz or PBR goes in the pot, too, if I have any in the house, which I rarely do.

Upping the ante (and watching heads explode!)… I have no doubt that original peon chilis contained a major ingredient that is almost totally excluded from modern versions: corn. I use it in my own. I happily ignore elitist “rules” about how chili “should” be made.
I had a sweet, little Aunt, who's cooking was very "country", and always seasoned to perfection. Her chili was a mouth watering experience, and it always contained white corn.
I don't think she ever knew of any rules of cooking, but the food on her table was always fit for a king.

I put corn in the last batch I made. Nobody complained. I like texture.
