This was not even close to Ft Wayne's Coney Island Sauce

I am not sure what recipe this comes from, but it sounds amazing, right? I love the spices you put into the chili. Where I live we have Cincinnati chili. It has cinnamon in it, and I can't eat chili with cinnamon. I can't stand the taste of it. I have tried it several times, but it is not my thing at all. I think this will be much more my taste.

This recipe isn't really close to Ft. Wayne's Coney Island sauce. Different consistency, different color, different flavor. It's a good hot dog chili, but it's not close to Coney Island.

Sorry to say that this recipe doesn't look, smell, or taste like coney island sauce from the original in Fort Wayne. Chef JJ's recipe (search google) is much closer, and I have one that's even closer (if I can find it).

The recipe above is not the recipe I got around 30 years ago. The actual recipe is called a Bavarian black sauce if memory serves. Regardless of the name, the recipe contains a fairly long list of ingredients and very little ground beef.
