Upstate NY Coney Sauce

A while back, someone posted info about a Coney sauce made and sold in upstate New York. It was from a place that had the word "Grocery" in the title. Can someone tell me the name of the place and possibly include a link to their Web site? Thanks.

It may also have been referred to as "Michigan" sauce. Also, I think the original poster said that he operated a hot dog stand in Florida and that he ordered this particular sauce "by the gallon."

Probably that "Boss Sauce" stuff from Rochester, NY.
you can order it by the gallon...or 16oz jar.

Thanks, Scorereader, but no, it was something else. Definitely a meat sauce for topping Coney Island-style hot dogs and it was called "Michigan" or at least I seem to remember "Michigan" in the name, or may just have claimed to be the "authentic" Michigan sauce, which would make it either a Detroit or (probably) Flint-style coney sauce. I seem to recall that it was a kind of general store attached to a gas station or just a grocery store. The Web page had a photo of the sauce in 1 qy. mason-type jars and you could order a case of several. I'm not sure, but there may have been a gallon-size, too.

I found it! Typed "Michigan Sauce" into Google. (I know: Why didn't I think of that in the first place?) This is the stuff I was talking about: http://michigansauce.com

ah, an albany, ny area company.
growing up in syracuse, we never used the stuff.
looks good though!
glad you found it.

There are a number of threads on Roadfood that refer to hot dog sauces from MI and the Detriot area. Use the search function on this web site to find them.There's a good one on the "recipes and cooking techniques forum" I made a greek sauce this past weekend fron that thread.

I think you are refering to Hotdog Charlie's Meat Sauce.
based in Troy, Ny is an Capital District tradition !

yeah, that's the one I was thinking of Mark. We didn't eat that either. Just mustard and maybe relish on a Hofmann coney.
The Michigan Brand sauce is made way way up in Champlain, NY -which is not really "upstate" as typically, the towns around and to the North of the Adirondaks is referred to the "North Country." Which is probably where I got confused.

Foodbme,

What is the recipe that you liked so much?

Hot Dog Charlies, Gus's and the Famous Lunch in the Tri City area all serve similar coney island hot dogs.

I checked the websites for both types of chili sauce and they look great. Could anyone please tell me what they taste like (spicy, sweet, thin, thick?). Thanks

It's in the Recipes & Cooking Techniques Forum under "Killer Hot Dog Chili Recipe". Both the original and my modified version are in there. ENJOY!
