Hello Bull,

You gotta think about giving more information about your requests. Don't make me guess.

If "Jerry's Dogs" in Elizabeth, NJ is the place you mean, then you're outta luck. Jerry's has kept the ingredients of their chili sauce a secret, and I can't find any copycats or "tastes-likes".

Thank you sir. I hear is a greeke type chili... hints ? thanks

Sorry, Bull, no joy with "Jerry's Famous Frankfurters", either.  These guys just don't give out information about their chili recipes.  Almost all of the hot dog sauces in the Northeast and Great Lakes states were originally Greek sauces.  You can try these Greek sauces:
