I have experimented with so many different sauces and have never found that “one” that makes it great. Time after time I find that my creations don’t measure up to my expectations like good old ketchup or mustard. I find that most of the condiments that we put on a hot dog overpower the actual sausage and that’s what makes them great.

As I said, I have never heard of this Jdawgs place and I saw plenty of videos of people eating and talking about the place while I was planning my expedition to pick up the ingredients for this recipe. I planned a pool party with close family, went to costco (I really dislike these sausages but it was recommended) then I followed this recipe perfectly.

I have to say that out of 4 people that tried the end result, none of us were impressed. Not that the recipe that you have posted here is terrible or anything, when I tried it before the hot dog, I felt it might have potential but after trying it with the sausage it was just OK. But I wouldn’t have another one, neither would my company.

My question, since I’ve never been to a Jdawgs before will have to be, is this recipe “exactly” like what comes from this restaurant? Does it taste the same, does it do the same to the hot dog? I’m simply looking for input here because I’m on an obsessive mission to find the perfect sauce and as much as I was excited to try this one, it didn’t do it for me or the others that tried it. I would think that a restaurant that has become so popular for this “sauce” would knock me on my ass when I tried it. But I was disappointed. Still looking for the perfect sauce……..

And yes Costco hot dogs are the best!

I did these in my air fryer and they turned out fabulous.

I think I will try this out with a good sausage next such Half Smoke.
