You cannot come to Detroit and not eat the city’s famous Coney Dogs, a hotdog covered in chili, mustard and raw onions, and American Coney Island literally created them. Open since 1917 this institution is a throwback to what Detroit was and a testament to where it’s going. And after a Tiger’s game lets out, this place gets packed and Audrina needs to keep up with demand.

    In the mid-60's we used to go to a Greek hot dog place in Detroit, that's all I remember it being referred to as. It was downtown, we lived in Toledo, I remember it was good.

    I live in Canada directly across from Port Huron, Michigan .. about 60 miles south of Detroit. I can't figure out why Coney Island hotdogs aren't in Canada. In fact, it's hard to find a restaurant or fast food place that sells anything like it. Dairy Queen sells a 'chilli dog', but it's not a 'Coney'. Hopefully a restaurant entrepreneur will read this and see the serious business opportunity that's in it. Canada's population is 1/10th that of the US, and we absolutely LOVE hotdogs. Coneys for Canada is a rich business opportunity just waiting to happen.

    My first coney was at the Lafayette Coney Island next door. Over the years I've tried both, but I always went to the Lafayette. Maybe it was Dimo I don't know, but we're talking the 70's here.

    Actually Todoroff's in Jackson Michigan was the first in 1914. He was a Greek immigrant from New York. His wasn't so runny making it a coney dog and not a chili dog like these. No tomato in his sauce. Basically just ground beef heart, cumin, garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper stewed in water and its own fat. I add a little cayenne to mine.
