Ex New Yorker living in Florida , Watching at 2am😂. I've got to tell you your recipe is one of the best representation of NYC ( back in the day) hot dog pushcart onions that I've seen. I'm so freaking hungry right now because of your video , if I had all the ingredients home right now I'd get up in the middle of the night and start cooking!! Looks absolutely delicious 😋
Thank you Sir! I lived off these when I was a Marine on the USS New York for fleet week in Staten Island and Manhattan 2011. I would eat 2 of those dogs with onions and a Powerade for basically breakfast cause I was sleeping off my drunk the night before. The burps that you have all day taste like the onions making you want more. Haven’t tried the recipe yet but will soon. I’ve been searching for this for awhile. Once again thanks bud. I live in Bama so we don’t have it like those lucky mofos in NY. Best dogs I’m the world!
Thank you for your service! That's about the time I fled NY for the warmth of the Sunshine State. Enjoy the recipe, and thank you for your support! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
I am a retired owner/operator of a hot dog cart and would make red onion sauce every day. I must say your recipe is darn close to my own. I am going to give yours a try because it looks good and I have not made any in a couple of years. Hope to see you make some more videos, I just stumbled across your page and glad I did. Have agood one.
My mom and grandma would take me to bingo with them on Long Island back when I was a little kid (mid 1970s). There was a lady there with a hot dog cart that had these onions. I’ll never forget them. Definitely gotta try this!
I will be making this one day... if you would take 1 tip from a well aged cook, I'm a grandmother... try using a Potato Starch instead of Corn starch...WHY?? I'll tell ya 🙂.. corn starch ,when it get back to room temp, goes watery every single time and you have to add more to make it thick again... Potato starch won't do this... it will stay gravy even when you can it or freeze it or even just pop a bowl of this onion reish back in the fridge to use next week.. and this sauce you made will store a fairly Long time because of the sugar and vinegar ... I certainly appreciate you sharing this recipe... thank you 😉👌
There was an old dude with a cart in the bronx at Harris field, 6 baseball fields in the 60s who used wood to cook everything. What a smoky taste. 2 dogs for lunch between games. Never had a better onion sauce since
As a native Detroiter, I grew up with Coney sauce on hot dogs. But I sure do appreciate and love some red onion sauce! Made it once for a party and all my family and friends loved it, too!
Many, many years ago, back in the '70's, we used to get dogs from a guy, a NY transplant, who sold 'em out of a panel van at an intersection leading from Albuquerque to Rio Rancho, NM. I'm sure he's long since past, but we've NEVER been able to replicate that exquisite, savory sauce he topped 'em with. But, dude, I think this is IT! Gonna whip some out tomorrow. Thanks
I am a native southern boy with absolutely amazing memories of pushcart hotdogs when I visited New Your City as a young kid. Something abut dirty water hot dogs and that amazing onion sauce. I can tell you how many southerners I have turned on to this great condiment. You certainly can't find it in markets here, but I have made so many variations of this over the past 30 years. I sell my hot sauces at local farmer's markets and curb markets in my local area. Often times, I make a couple of dozen jars of red onion sauce and take them to the market. The people that buy it ALWAYS come back on future market trips and buy additional jars. Unfortunately, I don't always have it there with me and the people who have previously purchased are pretty upset when I don't have it. Thank you for your video and recipe. You include a few spices I have not used and I can't wait to try it your way. Again, thank you for your instruction.
The interesting thing is . A lot of New York City water is delicious and my sand hog relatives would say that the lucky New Yorkers are the ones tapped into a hard rock aquaduct that was built in the 1700s. I do know that the water we had in San Diego when we moved there in 1972 was horrid. My grandmother would complain how she hadn't been able to make a decent pot of spaghetti since moving west. Then she realized it was the water and would boil all her food in bottled spring water and it certainly improved ten fold at least. Grandma was a smart lady and I would pay good money for a plate of her pasta that I didn't have to stand all day in the kitchen making and put up in the fridge for two, three days for it to be just right. But she was right. The water is everything
@Alabama Hot Sauce correction nys call em dirty dogs and it's not cause of the water or anything it's when u see them rubbing tired feet , and then start to wonder where in the he'll do they go to the restroom 🚶♂️....ya welcome
Had to leave New York and move abroad and really miss hotdogs. They have them here but they are hard to find. After being away for two years I finally found sourkrout. This was the last thing I needed to find out how to make and gonna try them this weekend. Thanks for the vid
Holy Shit! I never wanted some Hot Dogs so urgently, until this video. I'm an older dude born and bred in Miami, I've traveled to Queens on a yearly basis to visit with the majority of my family. Since a kid I loved the hot dog carts. Spicy Mustard with those Onions...the best. Going to make those Onions asap. Thanks.
I love to cook and I lived in the Bronx as a kid up to 3rd grade and to this day still remember the hot dog carts around Fordham rd and going into Manhattan. Don’t live in NY anymore .I’m going to make this and slop it on my dogs! Love your video !
Just found your channel and this wonderful recipe. When I was just out of high school I was waiting for the Army recruiter to complete my enlistment in the coming October. A neighbor of mine got me a summer job at the auto parts warehouse where he was a manager. The people were great - all Teamsters - but I hated the job... except for two things. At lunch time the "roach coach" would roll onto the lot and sell a sausage sandwich covered in "red onion sauce." The second best thing was that we were right across the street from a Wittman's chocolate packaging shop. I always got invited to sit at their picnic table in the shade of the only tree on the block... and I always ended my lunch with one of the Wittman girls wiping that sauce off my chin. I'm telling you - this is the sauce that dreams are made from! Cheers from Philly
Been saving this to watch since it popped up in my feed a couple weeks back - I'm from Alabama, but my roommate in colege was from Long Island, and he introduced me to a version of this. I've been making my own version for twenty-odd years, this stuff is A-Mazing, do yourself a favor and make some soon. You'll put it on everything.
Born and raised in NY and I have to tell you, your onion sauce looks really good. Whenever I get one from the vendor I get it with everything; kraut, ketchup, mustard and top it off with the onion sauce. It's my favorite next to a chili dog which I've actually added the onion sauce on top and it's killer. Thanks for sharing.
I’m going to try this. I make a spicy one for Jamaican food. It’s called onion spicy & it cooks in vinegar sugar chilli and thyme until just soft. 10 min. Then serve it cold 👍🏴🇬🇧
I always wondered what that was thrown on my Hot Dog that we got at a NYC cart. Best Hot dog i ever had and I love that you gave this recipe cuz im gonna make this bad boy for sure.
Being from southern Ohio, we had hot dogs with "hot dog sauce" made with ground beef, spices, etc....and it was NOT chili. Sometimes we also added Cole Slaw. Hog Dog Sauce from the local "Shake Shack" was to die for. I remember mom buying it by the pint to make hot dogs at home. Of course, all things must come to an end. The crazy guy who owned the place burned his Shake Shack down to collect the insurance money. (He may still be in prison to this day; I'm not sure.) The recipe was never shared, so that was the end of that particular wonderful hot dog sauce. I didn't see this onion sauce until I moved to NYC in 1983. When I first saw it being served by the vendors, I thought it was simply ketchup mixed with cooked onions, but after tasting it, I realized it was something different entirely. Your recipe here looks wonderful and I hope to make it some day. Many thanks.
I grew up in New Jersey this was always my favorite hot dog topping I have to make it myself living in North Carolina Beach North Carolina chili and coleslaw by Miles
Wanted to say this morning I prepared your recipe and another claiming to be from Brooklyn - I skipped all the rest that started with ketchup. Brother - hands down yours is The Best! I can't imagine offering anything else to our guests this Independence Day. Perfect balance of sweet tangy and sour. I'm going to ask my wife to wipe this off my chin... just like in the old - OLD days :) [see note from day before. ] Cheers Friend
Going to make this this weekend🤙. Tip hot dogs when start in pan add few tablespoons water at first so steam, cook inside then outside will cook after evaporated. And on grill get loaf pan on top shelf with hot water don't boil, then when someone wants a dog put on grill for marks, takes 1 min cooked all the way through no burning👍
Best condiment recipe ever! Thank you for this -- you cannot buy anything like it in a store on the west coast. Normally I will settle for a good Mexican salsa on my hot dogs and quiche, but this has to beat that. It breaks my heart when people in the U.K. refer to a New York-style hot dog as something with nothing but ketchup and yellow mustard on it. Not even onions or kraut? No.
Just watching this video, is addictive! I want to make this recipe, really bad. The sauce, the backtrack, and your New York accent narrating, makes it addictive! Yeah, you're more of a Oscar Madison kind of guy, but that's ok. You give us the freedom to use & make any type and brand of hot dogs, buns, and condiments we want to use. That primal grunt @ 7:39, is priceless! I pine for the day, where I get well enough to go back home (an amputated leg, is a big deal), and make this dish! Thanks for posting this.
You cook like I do. No matter how easy it is - I always make a friggen mess, and takes twice as long as it should. Woman hates it. Nice heads up though, I haven't had a NYC cart dog in 20 years. I do however require skinned dogs. Either local butcher or BoarsHead.
I have a batch of this sauce simmering even as I type. I’ll be cooking hotdogs tomorrow & will top them with it. I cooked it today so it’ll become more flavorful in the refrigerator. I’ll let ya know how I like it after dinner tomorrow.
I've made this a few times. Instead of using separate seasonings, I've simplified it with using Ketchup and Chili Powder. Makes for an easier cook and comes out very good for dogs and brats.
I've made this and it is fire! 🔥🔥 I have also developed a 15 minute version in case you can't wait for the full hour. Put two sliced onions on a small pan on medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of vinegar, a pinch of salt and enough water to cover. (pre-boiling the onions dehydrates them and the vinegar will keep them crunchy!) After 7-8 minutes almost all the water should have evaporated. Add a tbsp of neutral oil and saute them for 1-2 minutes. Once they get some color, add: 1/2 cup of ketchup, 1/2 cup water, 2 tsp of curry powder, 2 tbsp worchestershire sauce, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper (optional). It shouldn't need any more sugar as the ketchup has enough. In low heat, stir and let it boil down until it thickens into a glossy sauce. Tastes great as a topping for hotdogs and even burgers.
A vendor from NYC sold Boar's Head™ hog dogs with string attached with this onion topping. A buck a dog...longer than the bun... The mechanics in my shop bought 5 at a time everytime he came. When he didn't, he were sold out... I liken these hot dogs to Nathan's Coney island. The consistency like coleslaw.
Ive got some on the stove now... There was a time id hit a Sabrett stand two, three times a day when i lived in marble hill. I cant eat like that anymore, but this recipe is already bringing back memories. The smell in here is unreal man, this recipe is the truth. Ive got a pot of water with an onion, a bay leaf, and some vinegar going next to it, going to try to clone a dirty water dog. Thanks boss
@@SugarSaltFatBooze you were right about the cinnamon, that warmth in the air is awesome. I did a pinch of allspice and a splash of red wine when I tasted it before adding the water. It's simmering now. It's gonna be slammin. Thanks again
It's funny, because I was nodding along when I was hearing of the same ingredients as I did my first time trying to emulate hotdog onions. Only I boiled them instead of frying (no oil needed) and the tomato paste mixed in sooooo easily. Bitter from the paste, so cut it with sugar. Hate the stank of vinegar, so rather than putting it in at the end, I put it in earlier so the stank boiled off but left the tang. No starch for thickening, as I just let it boil down to concentrate the flavors and thicken up naturally. And I confess, I did let them thicken quite a bit to become almost "sticky", so I could eat them and not wear them. Didn't do much with spices, and the mix you had looks reeeeally good (the cinnamon surprised me, but yeah!), so I think I'll do that next time. Whatever I didn't use on hotdogs, I just ate with a spoon rather than fridge it. 😂😂😂
We used to call this Sabrett onions because you could get it at the hot dog stands in NYC and Brooklyn. Love it. Wash it down with a Dr. Brown's creme soda.
I bought Blackie's hot pepper relish and Walter's sweet mustard and tried them on my hot dogs...I guess ya gotta go to those joints and have their original dogs to get what all the people who rave about 'em are talkin' about. I wasn't impressed with their signature condiments. BUT THIS... this recipe is A-BO-LU-LY fantastic! It reminded me of hot dogs I had when I stayed in Secaucus and worked in Weehawken and would cross over through the Lincoln Tunnel to Manhatten and grab me a few hot dog cart dogs to take back to the Secaucus Embassy Suites. That oughta let you know how much I like NY dogs... thanx for puttin' this recipe online. I'm on the west coast and this kicks our dogs up a few notches!!!
I just found your recipe!! I was searching because today’s dinner will be hot dogs and I wanted to make it with onions just like the best hot dog stands in Newyork!! And your recipe looks just like it! I’m about to make it and by the way don’t pay attention to the hater who is bitter about Newyork , I appreciate you sharing your recipe… Thank you 😊
Very nice thankyou Sir. I'm a hot dog vender in Northern Ontario Canada and I'm going to try this on the cart this weekend. I did coke onions and it made something different for my regular customers to try.
Nice recipe.. I've not seen Mustard Powder in a NY style Red Onion Sauce before. You say use fresh garlic. I agree. The jarred garlic I do not think has much flavor. However for this sauce, I do get lazy. I use Ketchup, Chili Powder and my current favorite hot sauce is Choula. I like the ease of preparation.
I use only the best dogs sabretts with grilled onions and slow simmered bush baked beans.grill the dogs till the way you like. Toast buns on grill too. Put dog on bun top with onions then top with the beans. Soooo goood. Use the extra beans as a side top with the extra onions .yummy to the tummy.
Good Golly Miss Molly...that looks sooo good. Gonna try it. A great tip for hotdogs...6 mins in an air fryer. No heating up your grill, no babysitting them on the stove...you gotta try it. Thanks for the 411. Liked and subscribed.
Omg, It looks delicious! 1st time I ever had this was at a Catholic church function with a friend who's a member. In fact, it's called their Hot Dog Social! I couldn't believe how delicious they were. Nobody would give me the recipe! Probably cause I wasn't Catholic?! LOL- I don't know but now thanks to you, I've got the recipe and I'll be making these babies next week after I go shopping. Thanks so much for posting.- A fan in Ft Myers Florida 🌴🙋
Not my favorite, but I do like variety! For my money you can't beat a North Jersey Texas Weiner ala Libby's Lunch, or Hot Grill. That said, I get a hankering for pushcart New York dog from time to time. I think sweet onions are not as good as regular yellow onions for something cooked down this much. As far as the dogs go, my favorite is pork and beef, natural casing, but for this, it's got to be a skinless, all beef, dirty water dog! Thanks for a great recipe!
@@MichaelRei99 yeah. I heard that a while ago. Broke my heart! I do have THE recipe for Hot Grill's sauce though. Only get Thumanns dogs rarely when my sister drives out to see me.
I made this and it was good! I will put this recipe in my arsenal for the future. I’m usually a southern chili dog fan, but I promise this will be a part of my cookouts going forward. Thanks for this game-changer!
not from ny, but love onions, love a good recipe, stumbled upon this while lookuping up ny recipe hopt dogs, just did this sans cinnamon since i didnt have it and jesus christ, this is amazing. i could put this on ANYTHING. cheers friend.
Everything's hard to find here in FL. I'm in podunk N FL, Columbia County. I'm a die-hard southern cook, but I do like to travel outside my wheelhouse every now and then with a different recipe. We love hot dogs in this house, and I think this recipe could be the ticket . They look delicious!
If anyone is traveling thru Connecticut on Rte I- 84 you have to stop at Blackies Hot Dog In Cheshire. Easy off and Easy on both ways East and West. The relish they use and used to make which is now outsourced is worth the stop. They also sell small jars of their relish. They are closed on Fridays due to the “ No Meat on Fridays “ catholic rule. I haven’t been there for awhile but they used to sell the hot dogs 2 for $5.00. Enjoy
@@SugarSaltFatBooze well i am a pizza freak and that was one of my favorite things about the 212. I have been experimenting with homemade pizza. Would like to see that but either way man looking forward to new stuff.
In high school in NYC we had a "roach coach" outside run by Tony (what else). I'd get hot sausage with mustard and onions, heaven. I've been chasing this recipe for 45 years.

What’s that chemical name cups of stuff you used?
@eugenesedita water
Great recipe.
I’m in Ny and I can remember going to Brooklyn naval ship yard area and there was a guy selling these hotdogs. Amazing is all I can say.
Like that fancy word for water was great

"We'll do two of these 'cuz I'm fat" had me laughing. Also, potato buns are the best, MARTIN'S is my go-to for Burger Buns as well.

If you build it (and market it right) they will come
Thank you for your recipe. This is an honest take on an amazing hot dog topping. I appreciate your time to present this. You are a great American.
Tried it, love it. Going to make double batch next time. This is great putting it on most of my meat sandwiches.
Wow , you answered a prayer , i used to eat them all the time when i lived in NJ, Now at 64 i can do it myself. Thank you
I always wondered what that was thrown on my Hot Dog that we got at a NYC cart. Best Hot dog i ever had and I love that you gave this recipe cuz im gonna make this bad boy for sure.
the brooklyn secret is put a bit of balsamic vinegar it makes the onions last longer
I thought the secret was crack
Now you've ruined the real secret!
Good call. Also, sherry vinegar works well too. As long as the onions aren't crunchy it's all good.

I finally made it! I love it!!!! Your recipe is the best one I've tried. Thank you
Awesome! I'm happy you liked it!
Looks awesome! I'm in FL too and the store bought is just okay. I'll have to make this. Looks pretty easy.
Just watching this video, is addictive! I want to make this recipe, really bad. The sauce, the backtrack, and your New York accent narrating, makes it addictive! Yeah, you're more of a Oscar Madison kind of guy, but that's ok. You give us the freedom to use & make any type and brand of hot dogs, buns, and condiments we want to use. That primal grunt @ 7:39, is priceless! I pine for the day, where I get well enough to go back home (an amputated leg, is a big deal), and make this dish! Thanks for posting this.
Omg that looks so good. I could just taste it through the phone😋. Cant wait to try this recipe
I can tell you’re related to them because you’re an wonderful human being, too. Anyone who’s friends with you is damn lucky!❤️
You cook like I do. No matter how easy it is - I always make a friggen mess, and takes twice as long as it should. Woman hates it. Nice heads up though, I haven't had a NYC cart dog in 20 years. I do however require skinned dogs. Either local butcher or BoarsHead.
I have a batch of this sauce simmering even as I type. I’ll be cooking hotdogs tomorrow & will top them with it. I cooked it today so it’ll become more flavorful in the refrigerator. I’ll let ya know how I like it after dinner tomorrow.
I'm sure you'll love it! Cheers!
Well??? Inquiring minds want to know! You’ve not responded so did you not like it?
I've made this a few times. Instead of using separate seasonings, I've simplified it with using Ketchup and Chili Powder. Makes for an easier cook and comes out very good for dogs and brats.
I use the jarred sauce, But got to try this , And i like to use it on Johnsonville sausage patties, Yum.Thanks for posting. From NJ.
I've made this and it is fire! 🔥🔥
I have also developed a 15 minute version in case you can't wait for the full hour.
Put two sliced onions on a small pan on medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of vinegar, a pinch of salt and enough water to cover. (pre-boiling the onions dehydrates them and the vinegar will keep them crunchy!)
After 7-8 minutes almost all the water should have evaporated. Add a tbsp of neutral oil and saute them for 1-2 minutes.
Once they get some color, add: 1/2 cup of ketchup, 1/2 cup water, 2 tsp of curry powder, 2 tbsp worchestershire sauce, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper (optional). It shouldn't need any more sugar as the ketchup has enough.
In low heat, stir and let it boil down until it thickens into a glossy sauce.
Tastes great as a topping for hotdogs and even burgers.
I love it I make my own in California nobody does it out here so you have to make your own
A vendor from NYC sold Boar's Head™ hog dogs with string attached with this onion topping. A buck a dog...longer than the bun... The mechanics in my shop bought 5 at a time everytime he came. When he didn't, he were sold out... I liken these hot dogs to Nathan's Coney island. The consistency like coleslaw.
Damn that looks pretty close to the real thing. Ill give this a a shot. Thanks man!
Thanks for watching! Let me know how you like it!
Looks delicious 🤤 btw… u sound like the “ Howard Stern” of food?!? Voice aka
Ive got some on the stove now... There was a time id hit a Sabrett stand two, three times a day when i lived in marble hill. I cant eat like that anymore, but this recipe is already bringing back memories. The smell in here is unreal man, this recipe is the truth. Ive got a pot of water with an onion, a bay leaf, and some vinegar going next to it, going to try to clone a dirty water dog. Thanks boss
Enjoy it brother. I hope it brings back the good memories!
@@SugarSaltFatBooze you were right about the cinnamon, that warmth in the air is awesome. I did a pinch of allspice and a splash of red wine when I tasted it before adding the water. It's simmering now. It's gonna be slammin. Thanks again
Looks good
It's funny, because I was nodding along when I was hearing of the same ingredients as I did my first time trying to emulate hotdog onions. Only I boiled them instead of frying (no oil needed) and the tomato paste mixed in sooooo easily. Bitter from the paste, so cut it with sugar. Hate the stank of vinegar, so rather than putting it in at the end, I put it in earlier so the stank boiled off but left the tang. No starch for thickening, as I just let it boil down to concentrate the flavors and thicken up naturally. And I confess, I did let them thicken quite a bit to become almost "sticky", so I could eat them and not wear them. Didn't do much with spices, and the mix you had looks reeeeally good (the cinnamon surprised me, but yeah!), so I think I'll do that next time.
Whatever I didn't use on hotdogs, I just ate with a spoon rather than fridge it. 😂😂😂
Brother I'm across the pond but holy sxxt this looks delicious gonna try at the weekend just found you and subscribed brother , love from blighty.
Welcome to the party! Always great to hear from our cousins across the pond!
Nothing better than 80's and 90's New York food
Never heard of this sauce. I will have to give it a try.
Not familiar with this topping in my area but it looks fantastic. Thanks for turning me on to this. Can't wait to try it!
Putting this video on speed dial.
I want those onions.
I shall have those onions.😘
Make these onions!
It's funny I ran across you are video because my buddy turned me on to that red onion sauce about 2 weeks ago man that's good
I thought Howard Stern was speaking! I use onions, Delmonte tomato sauce and vinegar and its really good to.
I get the Howard Stem comparison a lot!
Thanks for sharing. I'm sure your father and uncle would be proud.
We used to call this Sabrett onions because you could get it at the hot dog stands in NYC and Brooklyn. Love it. Wash it down with a Dr. Brown's creme soda.
I bought Blackie's hot pepper relish and Walter's sweet mustard and tried them on my hot dogs...I guess ya gotta go to those joints and have their original dogs to get what all the people who rave about 'em are talkin' about. I wasn't impressed with their signature condiments.
BUT THIS... this recipe is A-BO-LU-LY fantastic! It reminded me of hot dogs I had when I stayed in Secaucus and worked in Weehawken and would cross over through the Lincoln Tunnel to Manhatten and grab me a few hot dog cart dogs to take back to the Secaucus Embassy Suites. That oughta let you know how much I like NY dogs... thanx for puttin' this recipe online. I'm on the west coast and this kicks our dogs up a few notches!!!
Love this! Cheers!
I just found your recipe!! I was searching because today’s dinner will be hot dogs and I wanted to make it with onions just like the best hot dog stands in Newyork!! And your recipe looks just like it! I’m about to make it and by the way don’t pay attention to the hater who is bitter about Newyork , I appreciate you sharing your recipe… Thank you 😊
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed it! Who doesn't love a good wiener!
I'm in. Thanks. I agree with the comment about a splash of balsamic vinegar, not much. It adds a thing.
Yes I love your hot dog onion recipe wow it's amazing I will use it all ways
First vid I am seeing and I am following just for your page name alone!!!! Can't wait for more!!!!
Stay tuned, new videos coming soon
@@SugarSaltFatBooze Only saw one "BOOZE" vid, making more?!!
Yessir! There's booze in the next one!
An Excellent Cooking Video. Highly Recommended. Than Yo Very Much For Sharing.
Well executed !
Very nice thankyou Sir. I'm a hot dog vender in Northern Ontario Canada and I'm going to try this on the cart this weekend. I did coke onions and it made something different for my regular customers to try.
I'm sure they're gonna love it!
I'm very curious...how did it work out ? Did the customers like these onions ?
Nice recipe.. I've not seen Mustard Powder in a NY style Red Onion Sauce before. You say use fresh garlic. I agree. The jarred garlic I do not think has much flavor. However for this sauce, I do get lazy. I use Ketchup, Chili Powder and my current favorite hot sauce is Choula. I like the ease of preparation.
Not for this recipe, but for a lot of other things I'm addicted to the Cholula green sauce
@SugarSaltFatAnother good green sauce is one you can buy at Trader Joes called "Green Dragon Sauce"....its absolutely DELICIOUS!!
{I believe I'll try making this one tonight! I'm 81, and still like to cook (among other things) Thanks for the receipt - it really looks good!
Cheers my friend!
I use only the best dogs sabretts with grilled onions and slow simmered bush baked beans.grill the dogs till the way you like. Toast buns on grill too. Put dog on bun top with onions then top with the beans. Soooo goood. Use the extra beans as a side top with the extra onions .yummy to the tummy.
Much respect for the recipe
That looks really good and I appreciate your enthusiasm for this family favorite.
Thank you!
Thank you for your awesome recipe!!! I am surprising my kids this weekend.
I love that! Enjoy!
Good Golly Miss Molly...that looks sooo good. Gonna try it. A great tip for hotdogs...6 mins in an air fryer. No heating up your grill, no babysitting them on the stove...you gotta try it. Thanks for the 411. Liked and subscribed.
Thanks! I've done them in the air fryer. Can confirm: delicious! Thanks for the support!
Omg, It looks delicious! 1st time I ever had this was at a Catholic church function with a friend who's a member. In fact, it's called their Hot Dog Social! I couldn't believe how delicious they were. Nobody would give me the recipe! Probably cause I wasn't Catholic?! LOL- I don't know but now thanks to you, I've got the recipe and I'll be making these babies next week after I go shopping. Thanks so much for posting.- A fan in Ft Myers Florida 🌴🙋
That's for the support! Let me know how it comes out!
Not my favorite, but I do like variety! For my money you can't beat a North Jersey Texas Weiner ala Libby's Lunch, or Hot Grill. That said, I get a hankering for pushcart New York dog from time to time. I think sweet onions are not as good as regular yellow onions for something cooked down this much. As far as the dogs go, my favorite is pork and beef, natural casing, but for this, it's got to be a skinless, all beef, dirty water dog! Thanks for a great recipe!
Bad news for you Libbys Lunch is no longer there.
@@MichaelRei99 yeah. I heard that a while ago. Broke my heart! I do have THE recipe for Hot Grill's sauce though. Only get Thumanns dogs rarely when my sister drives out to see me.
I made this and it was good! I will put this recipe in my arsenal for the future. I’m usually a southern chili dog fan, but I promise this will be a part of my cookouts going forward. Thanks for this game-changer!
Thanks John. Can u share ur recipe for that please!
@@tonymurray814 I followed the recipe above exactly.
I think he's looking for your chili recipe
@@SugarSaltFatBooze I am. Thanks
Gonna have those the 4 July! Thanks
not from ny, but love onions, love a good recipe, stumbled upon this while lookuping up ny recipe hopt dogs, just did this sans cinnamon since i didnt have it and jesus christ, this is amazing. i could put this on ANYTHING. cheers friend.
Glad you enjoyed!
will def be checking out this recipe. thanks for the share.
OMG those hotdogs with that onion topping looks so good it should be illegal !!!
I use this recipe and it does taste like NY sautéed onions🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Everything's hard to find here in FL. I'm in podunk N FL, Columbia County. I'm a die-hard southern cook, but I do like to travel outside my wheelhouse every now and then with a different recipe. We love hot dogs in this house, and I think this recipe could be the ticket . They look delicious!
If anyone is traveling thru Connecticut on Rte I- 84 you have to stop at Blackies Hot Dog In Cheshire. Easy off and Easy on both ways East and West. The relish they use and used to make which is now outsourced is worth the stop. They also sell small jars of their relish. They are closed on Fridays due to the “ No Meat on Fridays “ catholic rule. I haven’t been there for awhile but they used to sell the hot dogs 2 for $5.00. Enjoy
Noted, thank you!
I'm performing at Comix @ Mohegan Sun 6/27, I may take a detour.
Lived in the city from 2000 to 2007. Miss those dogs. Will def make this. I hope you do more videos you deserve more subscribers. Well done my guy.
Thank you! I'll be back on the content making grind soon. Just started a new day job, so my attention is there. Have any suggestions?
@@SugarSaltFatBooze well i am a pizza freak and that was one of my favorite things about the 212. I have been experimenting with homemade pizza. Would like to see that but either way man looking forward to new stuff.
You're my kind of people! I've been looking for a recipe for this very onion topping for EVER! Apparently, I didn't look hard enough!
In high school in NYC we had a "roach coach" outside run by Tony (what else). I'd get hot sausage with mustard and onions, heaven. I've been chasing this recipe for 45 years.
Those were the best!
Sir my whole family thanks you ❤ every time we get together I make chilli for hot dogs and now I just upped my game 😊
Love it! Enjoy!
Looks like a great recipe, can't wait to try it ;)
