A New Mexico restaurant is trying its hand at making a new ketchup recipe specifically for hot dogs. At Year of the Dog in Raton, a lot of their homemade sauces and toppings are from scratch so making a new ketchup seemed like a no-brainer.
Mahasin and Naemon Thurman own the gourmet hot dog restaurant. It started as a street cart in Trinidad, Colorado but in 2020 they opened up a walk-up restaurant. The Thurman’s believe ketchup gets a bad rap and wanted to see if they can give the condiment a makeover.
Their new ketchup is a bit thicker and darker than regular ketchup and is made to spice up a regular hot dog and mature your taste buds. “Kids love ketchup, so it’s like taking their nostalgic condiment and allowing them to still be adults about putting ketchup on everything that kids like,” said Naemon.
The hot dog ketchup and all of their other sauces will be available at the restaurant and for sale once they have the recipe perfected and packaging ready to go. They want to launch in the community first, so they are hoping to bring the ketchup to either the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market or to the Albuquerque metro. The goal is to eventually ship nationwide.
Mahasin is also in the running for a favorite chef contest online, if she wins they plan on using the prize money to help package and produce the new ketchup as well as their other menu items.
“Kefechovy sauce!”
Close, but we need kovfefe sauce.

My Dad had a recipe: Bloody Chariot Wheels
Cut hot dog into thin cylinders and coat with ketchup.
I still make it.
That’s vile and unnecessary.
Ketchup on a hot dog just ain’t right, even the notion of a highly modified ketchup doesn’t tempt my taste buds. Ketchup has it’s place however, it’s good on burgers, fries, and will do in a seafood cocktail sauce if you’re short on chili sauce. But, for hot dogs mustard and onions is my usual default, however when available I’ll go for sauerkraut and German mustard.
My introduction to the hot dog was the Roanoke Weiner Stand, the place was tiny and paper wrapped dogs stacked up in the window were 5 cents each and were a young boy’s delight, the highlight of a trip uptown with my grandfather. I don’t remember ever seeing any ketchup among the available condiments. It may have been verboten.
Yoose guys care sick little monkeys! ;)
Screw that! I put both on. Don't care if it makes people cry. In fact I'm into the schadenfreude.
According to the chef, he doesn’t like ketchup on steaks.
New Mexico has already perfected the new ketchup: salsa.
More fake news? what a surprise.
Mustard, relish, chili, onions, and, sometimes, sauerkraut are acceptable...
Ketchup never!
Unless you mistakenly put french fries on your hotdog...
I assume in New Mexico they put green chile on hot dogs.
Sounds like you’ve visited or lived in New Mexico, like me.
They do.
Bring on the Tums!
