Hot Dog, Chili Dog, Coney Island and Texas Hots Recipes

Many chili sauces for hot dogs started out as what is called a "Greek" style sauce. A lot of the original purveyors of hot dogs with chili were of Greek origin, and they developed the original special chili sauces from Greek & Macedonian sauces used for pasta(Saltsa Kema).

The recipe is often handed down within families or is sometimes sold. The owners quite often make the sauce themselves in big batches, and they won't even tell their employees the recipe. Sometimes the recipe dies with the owner.
