"Detroit's food scene runs deep with tradition - Coney Dogs, deep-dish rectangular pizza, Boston Coolers - and equally deep with reinvention. At American Coney Island, where the Coney Dog was invented, third-generation owner Grace Keros tells me, "No, you don't mess with a 108-year-old recipe," as she describes the sausage, chili, mustard, and onions on a soft bun. Across the city, you'll find that classic sandwich reborn as a Coney Dog Slider in a former horse-racing hangout, alongside vegan versions of Detroit-style pizza, chocolate bonbons inspired by Better Made potato chips, new takes on soul food, and more. These stops show how Detroit's signature flavors - old and new - tell the story of a city constantly cooking up its own rebirth."
"Green Dot Stables in southwest Detroit serves Motor City tradition in slider form. The standout is the Coney Dog Slider, prepared with venison chili, mustard, and onions on a mini bun - a playful spin on Detroit's iconic Coney. Other nods include corned beef, falafel, and gyro sliders, plus the infamous rotating "Mystery Meat," which has featured everything from wild boar to camel."
""My wife and I like to share food, so we wanted everything small and affordable," says owner Jacques Driscoll, who opened the spot in 2011."
Detroit maintains deep culinary traditions such as Coney Dogs, deep-dish rectangular pizza, and Boston Coolers while embracing reinvention across neighborhoods. American Coney Island preserves a 108-year-old Coney Dog recipe featuring sausage, chili, mustard, and onions on a soft bun. Newer spots reinterpret classics into forms like Coney Dog Sliders with venison chili and rotating specialty meats, and they offer vegan Detroit-style pizzas and chip-inspired chocolates. Restaurateurs emphasize affordability, sharing plates, elevated ingredients, and creativity. The city’s cuisine blends historic signatures with contemporary experiments that reflect ongoing cultural and culinary renewal.
