The Texas Hot, .. something I did not know

[BuffaloParrot]

I knew they were created in Buffalo but not by who.  These are the dogs that gave me the spastic explosion the other day.  From Wikipedia ..

"The Texas hot is a regional specialty in Western New York and parts of Pennsylvania. This Buffalo regional favorite consists of hot dogs smothered in a spicy meat sauce with mustard and chopped onion. This creation was initially popularized by Seneca Texas Hots of Buffalo, New York. Seneca Texas hots has packaged a package of spices for home use. This version of a Texas hot is available at most Greek diners in Western New York State."

never heard of it.     as a matter of fact, when you posted about 'texas hots' in the other post i thought it was a sausage or something.

They are awesome Tozie.   The sauce consists of a bean less meat filled chili with Greek spices and oils and is on the spicy hot side.  The Greek cooks in Buffalo created this sauce, hence the Greek spices/oils.  We have a ton of Greek eatery joints, and I never figured why?  Must have came here with the Irish, Germans, and Polish

I remember stopping at the Seneca Texas hots many times after hitting the bars in my younger days.
I also remember the Mighty Taco just down the street from there as a frequent early morning after partying stop

Just had some louies tex hots 2 days ago. They are one of those things you crave every now and then.

Yep Caddis.  I lived down the street from Seneca Texas hots for a while and ate there all the time esp after partying at the Golden Nugget across the street.  Also getting eats down the road from there like you said at Mighty Taco and what used to be next door, Mike's Subs/Hoagy Brothers.

I know this is an old post, but being born & raised in Texas...I had to find out what was up. I must say I have never heard of the Seneca Texas Hots. What you describe minus the Greek seasonings is what us Texans call & eat as a chili dog. I know it isn't the same, but that is what our chili dogs have on them: chili without beans (I personally hate beans in my chili) topped off with chopped onions & mustard. I also like shredded cheddar cheese on my chili dogs.

When I fix chili for hot dogs or for just a bowl on a cold day I use the traditional chili powder, paprika, beef boullion cubes, garlic & onion powder. Plus ground black pepper, a few other spices, a small amount of picanti sauce & a little red pepper flakes. I put chopped onions in while I am cooking it and I use ground hamburger meat & a can of tomato sauce for the base. That is a basic Texas chili, but there are lots of other seasonings folks use. That's why here in Texas they have chili cook offs during the summer months. People like to experiment & brag.

When we were routed to Chicago with loads & had to stay at the terminal in Bridgeview, we would eat at a Greek restaurant. It was a first for us, but we enjoyed the food very much.

Awesome for you to share that   Every city/state has their own style/cuisine and I love hearing of others.  I also lived in San Diego and oh so miss the Mexican food there!

[plantsandbirds]

An ancestor of Mildred's created them.  It's kind of like Montezuma's Revenge.  Tee hee.

Nakia, Here we can also get chili dogs.  It is a bean less chili sauce that tastes more like a traditional chili.  But you have to say chili because chili sauce for hotdogs here are a ketchup based with relish, onions and a little heat.  So, we got texas sauce, chili, and chili sauce.  Confusing I know
