Hi all, I'm Dave Lieberman and I'm searching high and low across the nation to bring you Real Food. What is Real Food you ask? All I know is when you taste it, there's no longer a question. It's obvious - it's that amazing burger you had as a kid or your grandmother's famous meatballs. It's that taco stand in New York that you've dreamt about. Bottom line, it's the foods that we don't forget. This week, on my Real Food quest, I set out to find you the best Real Food for an unforgettable 4th of July.

First stop, Willie's Dawgs in Brooklyn, NY. Try these recipes and you'll understand why people wait on lines.

Willie's Dawgs Red Onion Sauce (Recipe Courtesy of Willie's Dawgs)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

3 onions, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 tablespoons white vinegar

11/2 teaspoons paprika

3/4 cup of water

2 tablespoons sugar

1tsp hot sauce

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

In a medium-sized pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat; add the onion slices and garlic and sweat for about 5 minutes, until opaque and tender. Add tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for about 40 minutes. Serve over hot dogs.


Here's my world-famous 4th of July recipe for buffalo Burgers, Potato Salad & Lemonade and I've been told they taste pretty darn "real." Let me know how they compare to Willie's Dawgs... think I'd get a line going too?
