Today's Cases:

Varsity Coney Sauce, Wienerschnitzel Chili Dogs

It's been slow lately, so I spent some time checking message boards for recipes previously requested.
I found a few Coney sauce, Texas hots, chili dogs sauce recipes that I didn't have. No provenance, 
but they claim to be either the actual recipe or a copycat.

Angelo's Coney Island - Flint Michigan

Genie's Weenies - Hamtramck, Michigan - Chili Mix

Johnnie's Lunch - Jamestown, NY

For the other Coney chili sauce recipes that I have, see: Chili Dogs, Coneys, Texas Hots
