Costanza Sausage Coney Island Hot Dog Sauce

 

I tried their Rochester Meat Sauce first. This one is milder and less tangy. It's also darker in color, thicker and less oily. This one is closer to a traditional chili sauce. There's no stuff like allspice, cinnamon, or cloves in here, but does contain worcestershire that the other one does not. I like this one better, but it could use a little more heat.

Ingredients: ground beef, tomato sauce (tomato puree (water, tomato paste from vine-ripened tomatoes, water, less than 2% of onion powder, garlic powder, citric acid, dehydrated bell pepper, natural flavors), onion, cayenne pepper sauce (aged cayenne red peppers, distilled vinegar, water, salt, garlic powder), worcestershire sauce (distilled vinegar, molasses, water, corn syrup, salt, caramel color, sugar, spices, anchovy, natural flavor, tamarind extract, soy lecithin), chili powder (chili pepper, cumin, oregano, salt, garlic powder), mustard (distilled vinegar, mustard seed, salt, turmeric, spices), sodium acid sulfate, water, cumin, salt, celery salt, garlic powder.

Costanza Sausage Rochester Meat Sauce

Spicy, tomato-y, oily, definitely meaty. Meat's the first ingredient. Leaves a tangy after taste in your mouth. Not salty. This has a lighter color than their Coney Island sauce. While I liked this one, having tried so many, it sits in the upper middle of the pack for me. Good enough to come back to, not unique enough to make the top of the list. 

Ingredients: ground beef, onion, tomato sauce (tomato puree (water, tomato paste from vine-ripened tomatoes, water, less than 2% of onion powder, garlic powder, citric acid, dehydrated bell pepper, natural flavors), water, cayenne pepper sauce (aged red cayenne peppers, distilled vinegar, water, salt, garlic powder), soybean oil, cumin, sugar, garlic, sodium acid sulfate, allspice, cinnamon, black pepper, paprika, chili powder (chili pepper, cumin oregano, salt, garlic powder), cloves, salt, garlic powder, molasses, cayenne pepper.

I've updated this one because it appears they sell it in cans now. Previously it was frozen.

Walter's Mustard

 

Walter's Hot Dogs has been in Mamaroneck, New York since 1919 serving up their exclusive blend of beef, pork, and veal dogs along with signature mustard.. a blend of mustard seeds, relish, and spices. Served out of a Chinese Pagoda looking building with a copper roof.

I'm glad they sell stuff online now.. you can get their mustard from their website (as well as shirts and other stuff) and their hot dogs from Gold Belly. I don't quite know how to write a review on mustard, but it is some darn good mustard. The hot dogs are fantastic. Split down the middle so it get more of that meat surface to get grilled. I'd order like 30 hot dogs at a time, because some would get eaten on the ride home, and the rest would be good for a few days in the fridge since it was a long drive from New Jersey.

I will say that the mustard and hot dogs rank up there are some of my all-time favorites.

Feeburger's Meat Hot sauce

 

I was excited to try this one for awhile. I used to talk with someone who made and had co-packed for sale one of the best Rochester Plate Sauces (shout out Jim and Hot Top Foods) I've ever had. So I've known about Feeburgers since 2017 or so. I just wasn't sure if they sold it in jars, nor did I know any websites selling it, as I don't live anywhere near upstate New York.

The jar is definitely accurate.. you can tell there's a good amount of beef in it from the texture, and it's not too hot, not too not. Just as the jar says. I think everything balances out perfectly. You taste tomato ketchup, you taste hot sauce, but neither flavor is overpowering the other. It's got a great tangy flavor and it's something I'd come back for over and over.

Ingredients: ground beef, ketchup (tomato concentrate, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, natural flavoring), hot sauce (aged cayenne red peppers, vinegar, water, salt, garlic powder), water, sodium acid sulfate, yellow mustard (distilled vinegar, water, no. 1 grade mustard seed, salt, turmeric, paprika, spice, natural flavors, and garlic powder), garlic salt, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, cayenne pepper.

Zweigle's Hot Dog Sauce

"I" before "E" except after "C". Nope. I haven't read the list of ingredients yet but this just tastes like a classic New York pushcart onion sauce. 

Tony's Newburgh Lunch Texas Sauce

This one has no ingredient list (or expiration date) on the jar. So for my comments I'm just going on what I think.

This one is kind of gelatinous in texture. Could that be beans mashed up? Is it unflavored gelatin? I don't totally like the mouth feel of this one. 

I assume there's meat in there. Lots of tomato, but not a lot of meat. Kind of soupy. Tastes like tomato and black pepper to me. Doesn't really have any other defining flavors. It's not even salty.

Not the worst I've had, but also not the best. It's not something I'm interested in buying again.

Because there's no date on the jar, I have to wonder what the turnaround is on their sauces.

Frank's Sassy Meat Sauce

 

Sassy describes something as lively or bold. I would say that's accurate, however, the only thing bold I really taste is cloves. It's got a hotter heat than a bunch of the other sauces I've tasted (my nose is running), but I think there's way too much clove flavor. Cloves are one of those spices you need to be careful when scaling up a recipe. Good sauce, I just wish it was more balanced in it's flavor.

Ingredients: ground beef, water, cayenne pepper, salt, chili powder, sodium acid sulfate, paprika, black pepper, cinnamon, ground cloves.

Chef James' Bourbon Meat Sauce

 

Delicious. This would be one of the sauces I re-order. Spicy, not super spicy, and a good sweetness to it. It does leave some heat lingering on you tongue the more you eat. Well balanced.. no one flavor in the sauce overpowers the other. Just the right amount of ketchupy goodness, the cayenne isn't too vinegary, everything just works together well. Some sauces only taste good when warmed up, this one tastes good cold also. I know from experience. I was lazy once and just poured some in a container to try on potato chips.

Ingredients: water, ground beef, ketchup (tomato concentrate from red ripe tomatoes, distilled vinegar, cane sugar, salt, onion powder, spice, natural flavoring), cayenne pepper sauce (aged cayenne red peppers, vinegar, salt, garlic), molasses, mustard (distilled vinegar, mustard seed, salt, turmeric, spices), sodium acid sulfate, cayenne pepper, chili powder, beef base (oven roasted beef with natural juices, salt, hydrolyzed soy protein, onion powder, disodium inosinate, disodium guanylate), sugar, paprika, cumin, granulated garlic, granulated onion, black pepper, bourbon.
