There are no hot dogs in the sauce. You may be thinking of The Hot Dog Ranch, which is also in Pittsfield. They use the left over hotdogs at the end of the night to make the sauce for the next day. Teo's sauce is extremely top secret as you probably know. I have tried the recipes on this thread and eaten at Teo's in the past few weeks. There is absolutely no comparison!!!! If however you are in the Pittsfield area you can buy the sauce both at Teo's and at wohrlie's! Good luck!
