Hello Gene,
 
Please forgive me if this is a duplicate post. This is my second try.
 
I went to KHS in the 70s and enjoyed eating at Uncle George's on Broadway next to Jack-in-the-Box. Mike Andrews, a tall, nice man perhaps in his 30s with dark hair worked there. A previous post regarding Uncle George's history said his father, George, started the business in 1927. Many years ago I think I heard Mike moved out of state - Florida?
 
The last time I visited Kingston I ate a few hot weiners there. They were tasty, but didn't quite taste the way I remembered.
 
I am looking forward to trying TDJ's recipe. Thank you Mr. Jones!
 
Denise

Uncle George's in Kingston was taken over by Dallas Hot Wieners a few years ago. George's sauce is no longer - They now serve  the Dallas Hot Wiener sauce. They were quite similar, but  easy to tell apart. 
 
Cheers, John

Can I please have the recipe for Texas hot dog sauce.
Thank you
Jeannine



This string lists 2 distinct recipes in here - one for a Kingston NY version (aka Dallas Hot Wiener) and the Port Jervis NY version (aka Texas Lunch).  Which one are you looking for?

I also grew up in the tri-state area, actually from Matamoras, right across the river. I ate many a Texas Lunch dog from Jimmy, especially when I was working at the Port Jervis A&P. All of us went to Texas Lunch for lunch. This was 1963-1966 when I got drafted into the Army and really never went back.
 
However, my Aunt Maybell (who passed away a number of years ago) was, how can I say it, a bit intimate with Jimmy back in the day,  and she got his recipe. I still have it, and make a batch up now and then. I have often thought of opening my own Texas Lunch down here in Florida using that recipe. Might still do that one day.
Some of the recipes I see here are close, i.e. you got the water and corn starch part, but thats about it. This recipe is simple and very cheap to produce, but none of you have even come close to the secret ingredient.

Wolf (Wolf Brand Chili) makes a "Texas-style" chili sauce for hotdogs that is both quite tasty and cheap as dirt ( 50 cents at the local Wal-Mart).  And it heats up faster than you can cook your dogs or toast your buns.

(That said, IMHO, nothing beats the Coney Sauce made by M&P Coney Island, New Castle, PA.  Their's is definitely NOT "Texas-style").

That one mistake people make on the Texas lunch sauce, it is not a chili sauce. It is a hotdog sauce.

Maybe time has changed, maybe it's a twitch in my memory. Forty-Five years ago, in Poughkeepsie, a weekend grocery trip of 30 or so miles one way, usually led to lunch at various places, Texas Lunch, Carroll's, Lum's and then a quick dash down by the Mid-Hudson Bridge to eat and watch activity on the river. My recollection of that sauce was I spicy sauce over sliced onions that had been brewing for hours. the onions were the star because of the cross migration of flavor with the sauce which was on the thin side. the bunned dog was laid over with this combo that was thick enough to hang onto the onions but not saturate the bun. Even a 10-15 minute ride left a fairly sturdy bun, although one-handing it might not be possible, I forget. But the long simmered onions on the dog and whatever sauce that came along for the ride, plus mustard was da nutz. If their was ground beef in it, it was a minor component, Nothing else was needed or missed. My sporadic visits back there since left me with very rare chance to visit there. And in searching the Inet, I rediscoverd Roadfood and this thread. Other condiments could be added but a simplistic joy as is presented above.
Now, living in TX, I'm gonna peruse this thread and see if my taste buds can help me recall then and present to new tasters something different.
 
Now, beat this site for "Texas" outta Portchester which was good and open late with it's gang of characters. One visit  there, the woman behind the the counter threw a a bowl of their Chili con Carne in front of me with a kinda "wrap your lips around this" comment. She was sooo right.

Getting back to the original post regarding the Port Jervis Texas Lunch
 (Port Jervis) recipe - the Case family decided to sell the business (for the first time since the 40's).  For those who remember and were fond of Texas Lunch food,  it was closed in December and didn't reopen until March with the new owners.  It is now owned by the Lutfy family of Milford. I'm not sure but I think they may have been involved with the Tom Quick Inn.  I have not tried it yet but they have SLIGHTLY expanded the menu.  I few people say it's not the same but just as many say it's great.  Just check facebook on it.  I know it is difficult to keep the topic on Port Jervis, but for us this is a big change.  Wishing them luck!

   Great photo from Jimmy's Texas lunch in Port Jervis, NY.  Query "Texas Lunch Facebook" and click on Jimmy's photo.
I went there as a little kid and have great memories.  I see his hairstyle and dogs up his arm like yesterday. I can even smell it.

With all due respect I believe Jimmy used yellow mustard and believe it brings more acidity (vinegar) to finished product.   Please see  Facebook Texas Lunch  page for great pics of Jimmy with dogs up his arm. Uploads stopped me w/ 25Bb limit. Too low. His hair rang my memory bells. I had great memories from 3 years of age until maybe 12. Does anyone know what year original closed across from Nedzips?  Besides Barkmans, Saks drug, Joe Dunn's tavern does anyone remember what other places surrounded Texas Lunch?

You are correct that Jimmie used yellow mustard - and grill the dogs on a flattop.  When reading the string, you need to be careful because many are only interested in  Hudson Valley establishments rather than the Port Jervis establishment.  I did post a version of the Port Jervis Texas Lunch version earlier.
 
For the rest of your post - Nedzip was a regular for us.  He closed after 1970 and I think he went to Stroudsburg Pa.  Next to Jimmie's (on Front Street) there was also Spiro's soda shop way back when I was little.  There was also a triple S blue stamps store at the corner.  I also think there was a hardware store at the opposite corner.  And this time of year you would walk by them all to see the Mt Carmel celebration.

Thanks for response.  Do you know what year Jimmy closed.  I fogot about the stamp place. I do remember going into the Plaid stamp store on corner with my mom and/or grandmother.  Was the black granite faced jewelry store the only place beteen Texas Lunch and the Plaid stamp store?  Have you seen the photos of Jimmy on the Facebook Texas Lunch page?  You don't have to be a Facebook user to view.  I'll be making the sauce tonight.

Jimmie's never closed then.   He moved to Pike Street for a few years.  After that, he bought a car wash building next to techniflex on Jersey Ave - and converted it to a restaurant where it stayed until the family sold it as stated earlier.  For some reason, I thought the black marble façade WAS  Barkmans.  The only plaid stamps center was in Scott's Corner in Montgomery NY.  A&P offered the Plaid Stamps in town.

What I tried to post a couple days ago and couldn't from mobile device was I believe  that once cornstarch is added and hot mixture returns to boil that is as thick as it will get (hot).

Did you make the sauce?  Did you try the Port Jervis or Kingston version?  How did it turn out?

Yes sir, I did make the sauce and it was absolutley successful in a serious flashback in flavor and overall experience to Jimmie's Texas  Lunch on Front St. in Port Jervis, NY when I was a kid. I wish to thanks all you folks for input and recipes, I used the revised version of the Gentleman with the video from Tx.  My remember the small amount of meat as very fine bits of non browned hamburger not hot dog bits.  I used 6 cup water ver.  8 oz hamburger minced.w/o browning.  I used Aleppo pepper instead red pepper flakes.  Aleppo pepper in fine er grind and has notes of lemony cumin flavors and worked great with this sauce.  Is Jimmie'sTexas Lunch older than the Kingston place?  Where did Texas Lunch move to on Pike St? On another note Grand Union gave Triple S Blue stamps.  A & P gave green  S&H stamps and the redemption store on corner of Front and Sussex Sts. was Plaid. Black marble/granite front next door was Jewelry store called Pippett's.  Noodlman the shoemaker was also a frequent stop down the other end of Front St.  Great book just out on Amazon called "Finding Lost Marbles" about life in 50's and 60's vibrant Port Jervis.  I Miss Scully's in Sparrowbush and Villa Soprano pizza and ravioli too.      My pleasure folks.
