I know ... most of you will say that it's just a chili dog, but Coney Island Restaurants are so popular around here and the Coney is Michigan tradition. I would wager that there are hundreds of these restaurants just in Southeast Michigan alone - chains like National, Kerby's, Leo's to mom and pop operations like Athens. The 2 big ones are located in Downtown Detroit..Lafayette and American..and stand right next to each other. The original is said to be Todoroff's in Jackson. We like to make them at home with my "coney" sauce. And a Michigan made natural casing frank is almost mandatory...Kowalski, Koegel, Alexander & Hornung. And what can be better than chili on a dog?? - inpatskitchen
