This is not a competition for your pet mole to compete against someone else's pet mole. This is a competition between Mexican restaurants to determine who has the best mole sauce in Austin.

But by the time we're done, one restaurant will be awarded the Holy Mole Gold Medal for mole so good, it's a religious exp …
