Detroit-Style Coney Dogs are a regional specialty of Michigan, originating in the city of Detroit. This hearty dish is made with natural casing hot dogs, and chili sauce without beans is piled high on top. One of the highlights of a Detroit Coney Dog is that it is usually served with a heaping amount of diced onions and yellow mustard. Each establishment has its unique twist on the dish, and some people prefer to add shredded cheese to theirs. While the origins of the Detroit Coney Dog are a bit murky, they have been a beloved staple of the Michigan food scene for nearly a century.
