– SABRETT RED ONION SAUCE
While most of the Sabrett toppings are standard hot dog fare – ketchup, mustard, sauerkraut,
the Red Onion sauce is the real secret!
1-1/2 teaspoons light olive oil
1 medium onion, sliced thin and chopped
1 cup of water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon corn syrup
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup white vinegar
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium/low heat.
2. Saute sliced onion in the oil for 5 minutes, until onions are soft but not brown.
3. Dissolve cornstarch in water, then add it to the onions, followed by the corn syrup,
tomato paste, salt and red pepper flakes. Stir.
4. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Add vinegar.
Continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until most of the liquid has reduced
as sauce is thick.
Makes about 1-1/2 cups

– CHICAGO STYLE HOT DOG
A Chicago-style hot dog (sometimes referred to as a “Chicago Dog”) – – is a steamed
or boiled all-beef, natural-casing hot dog on a poppy seed bun which is thought to
have originated Chicago, Illinois and its surrounding suburbs. The hot dog is topped
with mustard, onion, sweet pickle relish (usually neon green), a dill pickle spear,
tomato slices or wedges, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt. You can get the
neon green relish and sport peppers from the Vienna Beef company. It is taboo to put
ketchup on a Chicago hot dog; there are actually some small hot dog shops and stands
that will refuse to provide service if the customer makes the request.

  1. DOG N PARADISE
    1/4 LB BEEF FRANK OR POLISH SAUSAGE
    LARGE BUN
    CREAM CHEESE
    SHREDDED LETTUCE
    PINEAPPLE CHUNKS DICED FINE, drained
    MANDRIAN ORANGES DICED FINE, drained
    RASPBERRY CHIPOLTE SAUCE(best is at Costco)

    Grill, Boil, or Steam dogs
    Spread thin layer cream cheese on bun
    sprinkle shredded lettuce on cheese
    lay dog on the lettuce
    layer with the diced fruit,, ( can add mango or guava)
    Circle the Raspberry Chipolte sauce over top
    Don’t scoff at this,, my wife and daughter said this wouldn’t sell. First time at a large swap meet, had sample slices out, word got out and they sold 3 to 1 over regular doggies.. just get one person to try it, especially a woman, and it will take off. if any one has access to Shamrock foods , get the pacifice brand of canned fruit it is the best.

  2. That sounds pretty good, but I’m a sweet freak.
    I’m gonna try one called Sweet & Sassy…all beef grill sliced down the middle face open. stuffed with sauteed pineapples and mango, chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, drizzled with your choice of salad dressing.

  3. Hi Steve, I just made SABRETT’S RED ONION SAUCE, Wow what a great tasting sauce. Thanks for the recipe.

    1. Hi Daniel,
      Any quality all beef hot dog will work. Try different brands of buns that you can get locally and see not only which ones taste the best, but which ones will hold up best in the steamer.

  4. Hi Steve,

    I have a question about cook times. I am just about ready to open, I got all my California Permits, (Pheew) and finally am looking for my Location, Location, Location! I am a bit worried about cook times. I purchased a box of frankfurts to work on my recipies and I noticed that the longer I left my dogs in the water, they became wrinkled and looked older. How to prevent this? How can I stop my dogs from getting the “old age appearance ‘wrinkles'”? Thanks, Dtrainn

    1. Hi Dtrainn, keep the water at 160 degrees for hot holding product. If you let the water boil your hot dogs will break down pretty quick. An even better way is to keep your dogs in a steamer above the water. They will keep for a long time that way. Good luck!

  5. Als Doggies here.
    I looked over the reciepes and didn’t see the New York style. Does anybody have that recipe?

    Thanks Steve

    1. Hi Allen, the first two recipes are for Sabbrets Red Onion Sauce and Coney Sauce, two New York favorites. When I think of a New York Dog, those are the two recipes that come to mind. What were you thinking of?

    1. A small one, lol! I advise my students to not compete on price. Sell a unique, all beef hot dog along with a unique experience and you can get three bucks for an eight to one hot dog.

  6. So I’m having fun doing research. I went to my local meat Market to get some hot dogs. I thought these will be too expensive for my price range. They are quality made dogs , a good snappy skin, with onion and garlic flavoring. I did the math and a roughly 8 to 1 dog is .60. Can I get hot dog buns down to .15 that holds up? How much should my Q factor be ( Napkins,paper, condiments, etc) per doq. I like to break my food cost down to the penny. So with a .15 cent Q factors and bun that’s .90 a dog. .9/ (1.00-.7)=$3.00. I feel I could get my food cost even lower agreed to buy allot of hotdog consistently from the local meat market. Also this sounds like it could be a great opportunity to get a commissary agreement as well. This could be a great opportunity to keep it local.

    1. Hi Aaron,
      I think that price is pretty high for an 8 to 1 dog. See if you can get them down a bit. As for Q” factor (never heard that term before) it doesn’t matter what it “should” be. It will be determined by the prices of those commodities which you end up purchasing. I’m not a big fan of sitting around and calculating costs down to the penny before opening the business. Just buy some dogs, buns, and supplies and get out there. Start selling. You will inevitably find that your cost projections were wrong. Keep track of your costs as you go and over time you find ways to trim your costs while maintaining quality.

      1. I used to be culinary student so I can get carried away. I guess shouldn’t be doing cost controls before I sell anything.

        1. Q factor is a guess at the cost of the extra commodities. For some people want a plain dog, others want all the toppings. No metrics.

        2. Yeah, just get out there and sell something. Action is the key to success. Money follows speed of implementation. Correct mistakes on the fly. Go for it!

    2. Hi – Newbie from NJ here. Also doing research. What is the 8 to 1 and the breakdown you are doing? Thanks And I will also be going to my local meat market and check this out. I do my price breakdown per pc on all.

  7. Hi Steve! I could be mistaken, but I thought at one time I had seen a recipe for Dr. Pepper grilled onions or something very similar; which I am not finding in the recipes here. Was this something I saw here previously that I am not now seeing, or is this another gray hair moment? Thanks in advance for your assistance!

    1. I’ve used many different kinds of soda for my grilled onions. My favorite is Coke but any dark colored soda works well. Dr. Pepper has a distinct flavor for sure. All you need to do is start grilling your onions and pour some soda on them as they cook. A little at a time, let it cook off, then add a little more. The sugar in the soda really helps to carmelize the onions. Don’t overdo it or your onions will taste more like candy than onions. I hope this helps Shawn!

  8. Come on, a Seattle dog with Oregon cheese? No….

    You gotta slap cream cheese on a dog, that’s the Seattle way.

  9. I am looking for a good hot dog slaw. I am in the south and the hotdog of choice is chili, mustard ,onions and slaw.

    1. Dorothy, I make my own slaw, super easy. Finely chop a head of cabbage. Dressing is mayo and red wine vinegar and sugar (all to taste), gives a unique and fantastic flavor. Sorry I don’t have measurements, but start with 1 cup mayo, add 1/4 cup vinegar and sugar to taste. If not tart enough, add more vinegar. Too tart, add a teaspoon of sugar. If I’m in a rush, I buy the cabbage already chopped.

  10. Italian Hot Dog (NJ Classic)

    1/4 pound hot dog, served on an Italian roll (or hoagie roll), with grilled peppers and onions and fried potatoes
