A&W Coney Dog Sauce | Relive the Deliciousness

[@darrell9546]

Tuesday night was Coney Night at A&W when I was a kid. They were $0.15, fifteen cents apiece. Our dad would load us up in the car and go to A&W, the carhop would bring us out a tray of coneys and root beers in the cold, frosty mugs. Heaven.

[@Teresa-gq1hj]

Same here, we live in Saginaw MI born and raised, we would go to A&W on Friday nights in the early 60s and that root beer and fries and the coney dogs oh so good!! They would bring our tray and my Dad would roll done his window half way so the girl could put the tray on the window. Good memories!!

[@wendyedmond1425]

Yum! I’m going to make that tonight! My mouth can’t wait to taste this. Thanks!

[@catscratchkitchen]

Thanks for watching!

[@rufussutton1540]

This made my mouth water! I've got to try this recipe. Thank you so much!

[@catscratchkitchen]

So glad it sounds good to you. I think it's the bomb! Thanks for watching!

[@DreAmeoba1]

A&W also had root beer that was phenomenally good, NOT the stuff in cans, but at the restaurants, where one could buy it by the gallon…

[@christrotter3052]

Hell yeah! We'd pedal our BMX bikes there to buy it by gallon. The crinkle fries!

[@stebstebanesier6205]

The root beer was fantastic, thick and creamy. Buying it by the gallon and talking it home was good, but never as good as a frosty mug from of the tray handing off the car window. Even if we had mugs chillin' in the freezer, it just wasn't the same as the restaurant.

[@TheTrueMariWho]

Because it is draught rootbeer. 🙌

[@TheTrueMariWho]

Our family had the mugs, we would keep them in the freezer.

[@colleenpiechowski8511]

I didn't know they had root beer or I would have gone there

[@hbgriss]

Something wrong with anyone who doesn’t absolutely LOVE chili dogs! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@Mr-Corey-June]

Chili dogs are ok, but Coney's are better. I prefer Flint style Coney's (dry sauce) over others. Detroit style Coney's and some others in my bias opinion are sloppy chili dogs, some even have ground up beans in the sauce.

[@hbgriss]

@@Mr-Corey-June you missed. There is no “better” w a hot dog. All are completely “DIFFERENT”. And if a real hot dog fan, you will realize they are all good , all different.

[@Mr-Corey-June]

@@hbgriss They're not "all good", I've had some really bad meat mush. If you haven't, lucky you. The video is about "coney's" not chili dogs, you clearly don't understand the difference.

[@karlbird873]

Amen!

[@jjohn4874]

@@Mr-Corey-June , Just an FYI: Jackson, Mich. is well known to be the KING of Coney Island, hot dogs!! The crumbled beef is soooooo tender and on the dry side, and they're topped with finely diced onions, served on a warm, steamed bun... they are the absolute best!! Bar none!! If the chili sauce in Flint is a crumbled, dry sauce... I would bet on it, that the recipe came from somebody who grew up in Jackson!! Detroit's are just chili dogs, they're not Coney Islands!!

Our Mom worked her first job at an A&W stand in Ohio back in the late 50's. I do not remember those A&W dogs, but remember Lum's dogs during the 70's in Ocala, Florida that were slow cooked in beer, they were great with any choices of toppings or plain with a basket of fries and a rootbeer, adults got the Lum's in-house drafts.

[@HeronCoyote1234]

We had a Lums in upstate NY! Loved those hot dogs in beer.

[@fireantsarestrange]

When I was 10 years old I had a girlfriend and her father owned the local A&W. We used to hang out there after school and we got everything free. Including the arcade games. I'm 53 now and I still know her and her family all these years later. When I was a really little kid my parents used to take us there to get rootbeer in icy mugs. They had these really cute baby mugs. I must have been only 4 years old.

in Canada A&W had Coney fries too

I worked at A&W in 1973 while in High School. Tuesdays was 17 cent coney dog day. We sold bags full of them.

Ive been makeing something similar for years for church potlucks,! got the recipe from my second cousin who would make it for school fairs, but the recipe starded with 3 pounds of hamburger, 3 onions choped ect....I had to reduce the recipe a lot! Lol!

[@XianHu]

Look great, but have you ever tried substituting broth or stock in place of the water?

[@catscratchkitchen]

I have not. I'd be interested in the difference to the taste though.

[@bodeansmith8173]

Thank you great recipe idea🥰🙏💛💚Oregon go DUCKS

[@Stecbine]

Here in Canada A&W is a completely different company then the US one. I hear the US one doesn't have a great reputation but the Canadian one is one of the highest ranked fast food restaurants. Coney Fries was very popular here before Poutine fever took over. Eventually only a handful of A&W restaurants kept coney sauce on their menu and sadly none do in my area anymore. I miss Coney Sauce so much, I have bookmarked this video so I can make my own soon. Our A&W's sell their A&W seasoning in the restaurants so I'm going to buy a bottle and add it to my Coney Sauce!!!

Thanx We loved A&W growing up,now there is only SONIC-NOT EVEN THE SAME! And wasteful paper products that don't breakdown in the landfills for years because of their coatings. OH and the GLASS FROSTED MUGS! I ACTUALLY HAVE ONE FROM YEARS AGO ! Now I am hungry! Gotta try this out! OH NOW SUBBED TOO!

[@mb0314]

It’s pretty much chili, cumin, chili powder, tomato sauce, main ingredients in chili. I know I have been making it for 50yrs. Nothing wrong with your recipe, but it doesn’t look like a sauce, it’s chili, but a very good one. Some like beans in it or not.

[@tomgensel4134]

Great sauce. A&W also has a meatless red sauce. Do you have a copycat recipe for it? I'm trying to make it but not having any luck.👍

Did you accidentally reverse the tomato sauce and tomato paste in the recipe? It just looked like you put a lot more sauce than you did paste. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I will give this one a try for sure!

Nope, it may appear that way to you, but it's in the right order. Cup and a half of paste and a cup of sauce.
