Coney dogs are a celebrated dish from Detroit, distinct from their New York City namesake. They consist of an all-beef hot dog topped with a thick, flavorful chili sauce, made from finely minced beef, onions, and spices, and served without beans. The article presents a recipe that enhances traditional ingredients with miso and balsamic vinegar for extra depth. The preparation involves creating a smooth chili sauce and assembling the hot dogs with toppings like onions and mustard, capturing the essence of this iconic regional dish.
Detroit-style Coney dogs are nothing without a good chili sauce—one that's more condiment than stew, so swap your wooden spoon for a potato masher to break the ground beef down into very small pieces.
Our version ditches some of the standard ingredients like celery salt, Worcestershire sauce, and brown sugar in favor of punchy add-ins like miso and balsamic vinegar, plus tomato paste and a couple pats of butter for added richness.
