I’m new to the hot dog biz.

My favorite hogdog chili, which I’d like to very closely replicate, is one served at sandwich shop in my hometown that has been in businesss for over 75 years. It’s a very dense, finely ground beef chili with no beans. Of course the recipe is a closely guarded secret.

Since I now live and will be operating my business well over 100 miles away, I don’t see any harm in copying thier recipeas close as I possibly can. My problem is I’m not very good at doing stuff like that.

If I were to get a sample of their chili, is it possible for me to have someone analize it and figure out the ingredients? Could a lab tell me exactly what’s in it, and in what portions?

Could a chili expert do it by taste?

I would seriously pay good money to know this recipe.

Don’t expect us to spoon feed you. Use what this site has to offer you and take the initative to figure it out for yourself.[;)]
