Subject: Sneaky Petes hot dog sauce
I grew up in Birmingham and love this sauce. I've never been able to find the recipe.
Sneaky Pete Hot Dogs
Another great Birmingham tradition is Milo's Hamburgers. They have the Souths greatest
sweet tea. They also have an outstanding & unique hamburger sauce.
Milo's Hamburgers
Thanks in advance & may your luck be better than mine in finding these recipes.

Hello Patrick,
No luck finding the “actual” recipe for either of these. The recipe is closely guarded by the restaurants,
and not even all of the employees in the local restaurants know the recipe. Also, one or both of these may
be made & bottled by outside vendors now, rather than being made in-house.
I did a thorough search for Sneaky Pete’s sauce a few years ago, with little success. A new search today had
no better results. The old search is here: 6-25-2012
As for Milo’s sauce recipe, there are a few copycats available,. See below. The first one is posted on
several message boards, but one person who tried it said it wasn't even close. Others seemed to think it is close.
Some folks say just worcestershire and bbq sauce will get you close to the taste of Milo’s. Some say there’s
some sort of gravy mix in it. If the second recipe below is close, but not close enough, you might try adding
some Worcestershire to it. The last recipe below is the most unique in that it uses taco sauce. I’ve never had
Milo’s sauce, nor have I made any of these recipes, so I can’t recommend one of them. If you try them, let me
know the results.

Milo's Hamburger Sauce (copycat recipe)
1 cup non smokey BBQ sauce
3/4 cup Swanson's beef broth (buy the good stuff)
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup Dale's steak seasoning sauce
1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 envelope brown gravy mix
1/4 tsp ground cayenne pepper
Optional:
Light corn syrup to taste
more cayenne to taste
Mix all ingredients in small sauce pan and cook 10 minutes on medium-high heat.
Store in a tight container keep 2 weeks in refrigerator..
Yield 2 1/2 cups
----------------------------------------------------
Milos Sauce
1 cup store brand "original" Barbeque Sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 package Cajun Style Brown Gravy powdered mix (sold in the gravy section)
Mix together and use.
I recommend using the other 1/2 of the gravy mix to season the thin hamburger
that you pan fry to cook. “This is as close as I've ever gotten to the real thing!”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hamburger sauce like Milo's
1 bottle smooth taco sauce (Ortega is best)
1 bottle small ketchup
Fill ketchup bottle with water
Handful chopped onions
1-2 tsp chili powder depending on taste
Simmer until the onions are clear.
Also, grill/steam the buns with some fat in the pan, and steam the burgers if you can.
Just put a lid on top of your frying pan.
Also, you might want some garlic/onion powder in the sauce, depending on your taste.

Subject: Sultana Salad Dressing
I am looking for this recipe for my father. It was sold in A&P stores. I'd like to make it
for him and take him back to his childhood. If you could find it, I'd really appreciate it.
Sincerely,
Tracy
Hi Tracy,
A bit of history: “Sultana” was one of A&P’s store brands, like “Ann Page” and “A&P” were store brands for A&P. A&P sold a variety
of products under the name “Sultana,” such as pork & beans and stuffed olives, as you can see from this 1954 newspaper ad: Google News
They also had an “Ann Page” salad dressing. The question is: “What was ‘Sultana salad dressing’? What were the ingredients?”
I had no success finding any information about it other than a newspaper ad that said “it’s rich with salad oil and egg yolk..“
“Sultana salad dressing” doesn’t appear to have been a type of salad dressing like Italian or French or Green Goddess or Ranch.
It and “Ann Page” salad dressing seem to have been a product that was more similar to “Kraft Miracle Whip salad dressing” than
to what we usually think of as dressing for a green salad. It may have been similar to mayonnaise, only seasoned a bit differently.
In many of the ads I saw from newspapers, it was offered as an alternative to mayonnaise, for use on sandwiches and in things
that typically call for mayonnaise such as tuna salad, chicken salad, etc.
I’m at a loss as to how one might find a recipe or even a list of ingredients for it. I’ll post this for reader input.
Perhaps someone who remembers the taste of it can recommend a product that tastes similar.
